As far as the fees go... Yes, the OP is out a dollar, but it didn't go to the artist. It was taken by Paypal as a fee for using their services. It sucks in this case, but I'd hesitate to call it unfair. Just the cost of using Paypal.
Refunding the entry fee in CAD instead of USD is definitely the fault of the artist. I would be more than a little irritated by this, given that the conversion rates are sometimes pretty harsh.
I'm also curious as to what the rest of the story is here. This might not be the case, but... it certainly appears that bits of what was said are being selectively omitted. If they aren't incriminating, why leave them out?
