This might answer your question, especially the bottom part of it. It's a quote from the original email that we all got.
4. HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM PART OF THE SETTLEMENT?
On July 12, 2004, Judge Fogel entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement and certifying the following class for purposes of the settlement: All Persons who opened a PayPal account during the period from October 1, 1999 through January 31, 2004. Excluded from the class are any judicial officer to whom the lawsuit is assigned; PayPal and any of its affiliates; any current or former employee, officer, or director of PayPal; anyone who resides in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, or United Kingdom; and all persons who timely and validly request exclusion from the class pursuant to this notice.
Thus, if you opened a PayPal account between October 1, 1999 and January 31, 2004, and are not one of the excluded persons listed above, you are a member of the class.

I got a check for $45 or something, and I thought it was a standard reparation payment for everyone. How did you get almost $500?
PayPal was found guilty of violating the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ("EFTA"). I guess that's serious business.
It wasn't a standard reparation. There were different classes. Here's a quote from the original email again (the forms don't seem to be at the given site anymore):
To make a claim for payment, please complete one of the claim forms (
Statutory Damage Claim Form,
Short Claim Form, or
Long Claim Form) available on the Internet at
https://www.paypal.com/settlement/.
Like I said, I filled out the Long Claim Form. I bet you filled out one of the short ones.
Also, if my memory serves me correctly, there was a check list in the electronic claim form that asked us in which ways we were screwed by PayPal, i.e. "Did PayPal freeze your account?" I don't remember the other items on the check list, but I marked them all. Also, there was a part that asked us to estimate the financial damages that PayPal's violations caused us. That was the part that I exaggerated on. In short, according to my claim, PayPal really owed me a lot.
There may have also been other factors involved, ones that I am unaware of.

so you lied? lol and you're telling the whole internert you did so?
Well I didn't actually lie... unless exaggerating is a lie, then I guess I fibbed a little. Well, there's always forgiveness, plus PayPal really pissed me off, so I just got back what was mine. Also, it's not like anything can be done now, nor can this be used as evidence against me. How can it be proven that this is me, and how can it be proven that I am telling the truth? After all, prince mack already
proved I'm lying about the check in the first place, right kids?

prince mack is truly the most unique savant syndrome patient to date. I can hardly imagine what I would do with the autistic super-capability to falsely assume and accuse people of lying without a shred of evidence or support in theory.
You should really let some government facilities study you. I understand they pay a lot of money. Or maybe Hollywood can make a
Rainman sequel that's based on you. Although you probably don't need the money anymore, now that you have been awarded a whopping $50 from the PayPal case. Cheers to you mate.

Yeah, I figured he was bullshitting. Anyhow, I've gotten fucked over so many times from people doing chargebacks via their credit card companies. No matter if I had a tracking number or not, Paypal would still take the money out of my bank account. I lost over $1000 on one transaction back in 2004.
Really? You had it figured the whole time? Because you had me fooled when I read your first post.
You're also a dips***, because all you had to do was file a dispute with your bank, and all your money would have been refunded. You might have lost your PayPal account in the process, but that's hardly worth $1,000, unless you really are that stupid.
Also, that's the danger of accepting money from unconfirmy's. When someone has an unconfirmed address, it means they didn't prove / weren't able to prove that their bank statement is registered to the address that they have on their PayPal account. Processing that would be like processing a credit card face-to-face from a person who can't show ID, or who's ID doesn't match the name on the card.
Well, that's all I have to say. Now onto another topic.
So what are you guys gonna buy with your new found fortunes? Limited Edition Yu-Gi-Oh! cards?
