An apparent flaw that lets users add any amount of money onto already processed PayPal transactions is a feature, not a bug, according to the payments giant.

"This proof of concept transfers only one Euro more than the confirmed amount, but I also tried with 200 Euros and it works just the same."

The company did not say if it plans to cap the rate or otherwise reduce the potential impact of the fraud.

Of course they cannot admit such a bug. Who comes up with the idea to allow adding fees onto an already granted transaction?
