I did notice that wakemate/paypal charged my credit card this week... I guess that means that you'd better be damn close to shipping these.

You were charged. That it was a negative amount is a worthwhile distinction.

If that isn't the case, PayPal is stealing from you. Though we are pretty damn close, regardless.

My apologies - I spoke in haste. Yes - I got my refund. I'd only glanced at my CC statement - and noticed wakemate in passing - and assumed it was a new charge.

(On a somewhat related note (and I'm not holding this against you at all) -- technically I'm down 30 cents on wakemate. Paypal initially charged me $5.61 AUD and then refunded my $5.31 AUD. I realise that it's $5 US both times - just thought it was worth mentioning)
