If you see transactions on your PayPal account that you didn't authorize, you can skip the dispute process and immediately file a claim with PayPal. PayPal's Resolution Center helps you resolve any problems with unauthorized transactions or other account activity. Using this button allows you to report unauthorized activity to PayPal directly, rather than filing a dispute and going through negotiation with the seller. You'll be asked questions about the transaction you're reporting so PayPal has the necessary details to investigate your report. After you've filed an unauthorized activity claim, PayPal will prompt you to change your password to prevent further unauthorized activity on your account. PayPal attempts to make an initial review of claims within 10 days of the date they're filed.  If PayPal determines the activity you reported was unauthorized, it will refund the amount of the transaction to your account and close the claim. If PayPal needs information from other parties involved in the transaction to resolve the claim, it will contact them and give them seven days to respond before resolving the claim. After all necessary information has been received, PayPal fully investigates the activity you've reported.  If PayPal needs any further information, you'll receive a message in the Resolution Center. You also can log in and go to the Resolution Center to check on the status of your claim at any time.  PayPal typically comes to a final decision on unauthorized activity claims within 30 days.

Summary: Identify unauthorized activity. Log in to your PayPal account and go to the Resolution Center. Click the "Report a Problem" button. Provide the information requested by PayPal. Change your PayPal password and security questions. Wait for PayPal to review your claim. Wait for PayPal's final decision.


You will be using this as a template for the actual wings, so you only need to draw one side. Use a large sheet of paper, such as poster paper or newsprint. You can also tape several sheets of paper together to make a larger one. Cut the template out along the lines that you drew. Set it down onto a sheet of cardboard, then trace around it with a pen or pencil. Flip the wings over to the other side, like turning a page, and trace again. If you don't have cardboard, you can use poster paper instead. A box cutter or a craft blade will work the best for this. If you cut your wings out of poster paper, you can use a pair of scissors instead. Make sure that you cut just inside the lines that you traced. This way, you won't see the pen or pencil marks when the wings are done. Find the center of your wings where they will bend. Lightly run your craft blade down the center to create a shallow cut. Fold the wings in half along the score, then unfold them. If you used poster paper, simply fold the wings in half, then unfold them. You can paint the wings using spray paint, poster paint, or even acrylic paint. Do one side first, let it dry, then do the other side. If you are using poster paper, you might want to skip this step. Take a look at some pictures of butterfly wings, then copy the designs onto your cardboard wings with pencil. Fill the designs in using paintbrushes and acrylic paint or poster paint. You can do this on both sides of the wings, but let the first side dry before doing the second. Sketch out the lines with pencil first, then go over them with glitter glue. Iridescent will look pretty, but you can use other colors too. If you don't have any glitter glue, draw your designs using regular school glue (straight from the bottle), then sprinkle glitter on top.  Look at pictures of fairy wings or dragonfly wings for more ideas. You can do this on both sides, but let the first side dry. The possibilities are endless here. You can use basic craft supplies, like glitter glue or paint, or themed supplies, such as fake flowers or rhinestones. You can try:   Drawing designs using paint. Stir some glitter to the paint first for even more sparkle! Gluing rhinestones onto the wings for extra sparkle. Add more designs using glitter glue. Gluing paper doilies onto the wings to create a snow fairy look. Decorating the wings using fake flowers or fake leaves to create a nature fairy look. How long this takes depends on what you used to decorate them. Paint typically dries within an hour, but glitter glue can take up to a day to dry. You can help speed up the process by setting the wings out to dry in a sunny location. Use a hammer and a nail to punch 2 holes on the left side of the wing, and 2 holes on the right. The holes should all be the same distance apart, forming a box shape. They need to be 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) from the central score/fold line. Thread the first ribbon through the top-left and bottom-left holes. Thread the second ribbon through the top-right and bottom-right holes. Make the ribbons long enough so that you can wrap them around your shoulders and tie them into bows. Have someone hold the wings against your back for you. Wrap the left set of ribbons around your shoulder, and tie them together into a bow. Repeat the process for the right.

Summary: Sketch out your wing design on a large sheet of paper. Cut your template out, then trace it onto cardboard. Cut the wings out just inside the lines that you drew. Score or fold the wings down the middle. Paint the wings a solid color, if desired. Paint details onto the wings if you want them more realistic. Draw designs with glitter glue if you want fantasy wings. Decorate the wings with other items if you're feeling creative. Allow the wings to dry completely. Punch 2 holes to either side of your score/fold line. Cut 2 pieces of ribbon and thread them through the holes to make straps. Tie the ribbons together to wear the wings.


Do not make his being wrong about his intelligence or other aspect of his character. This will be more likely to put him on the defensive; if you isolate his specific action or thought (whatever he is wrong about) from his character, he will more easily see the err of his ways as his identity and self-esteem is not so wrapped up in the exchange. For example, rather than saying something that makes a character judgment like "you've definitely not been paying attention or there is something wrong with your memory because I did the dishes last" say something that focuses more precisely on the specific wrongness, like "I believe you're actually wrong about who did the dishes last time." People will be more inclined to believe you that they are wrong if you offer an alternative that is right. If you just point out that they are wrong but do not follow up beyond that, without any alternative, they will be more likely to stick to their guns. Speak with authority but also remain modest in your conversation. Again, the main idea here is that you do not want him to get on the defensive. Do not be aggressive, let him know softly by saying something like “I think you may be mistaken here” rather than “you are absolutely dead wrong on that”; the former is more abrasive and will more likely lead to an automatic aggressive response by him, such as refusing to take your position seriously. The angrier or more exasperated you seem, the more power he will have. Stay calm and if he just won't accept the facts, consider walking away. It's often not worth a fight to prove someone wrong. Be comfortable knowing that you are right and that in some cases it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Try sandwiching his being wrong between two positive qualities about him, or weaving in other things he was right about. With this technique, he may not feel too negatively about your correcting his being wrong.  Take an example where your roommate is wrong about his belief that he did the dishes last, and it is a frequent enough occurrence that you decide to bring it up. You might say something along the lines of "When you do the dishes they always come out nice and clean but I think you're wrong that you did them last. I remember doing them yesterday while you were playing that sweet song on the guitar. Do you remember that?" Be sure to drive home the point that the real reason for the conversation is to let him know that he was wrong about something. Do not spend too much of the conversation on what he did well, otherwise he may focus too much on that or not get the take home message you intend to leave him with; this will undermine the use of the sandwich technique.  However, avoid being condescending, too. It is a fine line to walk; you will be less likely to be perceived as being condescending if the 'bread' layers of your sandwich are genuine.
Summary: Point to behavior, not character. Show how to be right. Ease him into it. Don't get worked up. Try the sandwich technique.
