The way I understand it is, when I contact the credit card company that I used for my PL bid and challenge the billing, the CC company turns around and takes the money back from PL. then some sort of investigation takes place. I know that it is taken off my billing from the cc until the dispute is resolved. I haven't had many disputes over charges, but all the ones I have had, I've never had to pay for. So either the CC eats it or the merchant eats it in the end. In this case I hope its the merchant (PL) if they don't try to settle this issue with me.

Actually, you have already paid. it's not up to you to pay the bill or not, it's up to how the dispute, should you end up filing one, turns out.
It's one of the reasons they can do what they do, everybody pays up front. They already have your money, and they simply won't just turn it over in a dispute.
