PayPal kiting

Similar to check kiting.

Using the 1-2 day delay in funds being withdrawn from an account through PayPal to pay for an item, knowing there is no cash in the account at the time of purchase.

Usually resulting in an overdraft fee, but not in a declined purchase.

Kiting

Particularly used in the 1980's/1990's in the UK (maybe decade before and/or after) - Using stolen/fraudulently acquired credit cards, cheque books and debit cards, etc, in order to obtain cash money from the 'victims' bank and/or using the cards to use fraudulently in shops in order to obtain (most often) high value items by 'false representation' (legal term) to (often) sell onwards for a lower price (usually half original price or less depending on circumstances) to a person/persons who may then potentially be involved in "receiving stolen goods" (legal term) if they're aware that the goods were obtained illegally.
Just bought some (stolen) credit cards on the cheap, shall we call "BLANK" & see if they'll come kiting with us to make a raise (slang for making illicit cash)...

Go fly a kite

In my mind it means go F off why?

Well mary poppins said “let’s go fly a kite, up to the highest height!”

But Thomas Edison flew a kite got electrocuted so go fly a kite in my eyes means go put a fork in. Socket or F off

April Dawn Kite

April is love out of the darkness,
From the depth of infinity,
She is the moon and the sun,

She is the very air I breath to the flower,
Without April the world would be shadowed in a dark void of death, destruction and chais.,
Therefore we need and love our April Dawn Kite
April Dawn Kite is love forever,!!!
