Card Cash ABC Card Cash Card Cash took my money and ran! Internet

I purchased 3 - $100 Melting Pot gift cards from Card Cash.  I gave the first one as a wedding gift and the other 2 were to be used several months later for a birthday present.  Upon receiving the cards in August I checked the balance to see that they were correct, which they were.  A few days later I received a call from the Bride and Groom saying that they had tried to use the gift card after eating their meal only to find a zero balance.  I immediately checked the balance on the other two, only to find that they also showed a zero balance.  Since I had used my Paypal account to purchase the cards, I immediately filed a dispute.  However, over 2 months later I was denied the dispute because Paypal states that they can't verify that the cards were received with a zero balance.  I have filed an appeal but now am concerned that I will just have to eat the cost of the cards.  Thanks Card Cash!!!
