I sold someone my aim account via paypal. 2 days later the guy files a dispute and gets him paypal money back. I managed to change the email of the aim account back to my address but I do not know the secret answer or the password. Is there anything I can do to get it back?

This is a flaw in the AOL Instant Messenger registration/recovery service. Next time you sell your screenname remember to change (or at least know) the secret answer. Then only after the money has been finalized (i.e he/she can no longer dispute the payment) you give him/her the answer to the Secret Question. The buyer cannot scam you this way. Even if a dispute does occur you can easily change the password and the email the SN is registered to. Of course with this method you will have more power than the buyer (you can do the scamming) which will potentially make less people interested in buying your SN(s).
