What I'm saying is that my impression is that the transaction is not reversed but that a subsequent insurance claim is made.

IMO if the money is available for you to spend then it has "cleared". Money that has cleared may be recouped, eg when you sell something fraudulently and get nabbed.

If you fraudulently sell something and then spend the money, how does paypal recoup it?
