With all due respect to those whose PayPal experiences have been negative, I can find you a few JFK and 9/11 conspiracy websites too. Like I said, no one I know personally has ever had anything bad happen with them, and I certainly haven't. Further, every new system has kinks and every new company has to grow and make some mistakes along the way; how recent have these horrendous transgressions been? You can't do THAT much business with THAT many people and get eBay to not only condone and support you, but buy you and make you a part of their whole infrastructure, if it's all horror stories, not with as much to lose as eBay had and still has. I'm sorry, but I just don't buy it. I'd be more willing to bet they've worked out most of the problems that were created or exploited by UNCOOTH/HAPLESS SELLERS WHO MADE THE BIGGER TRANSGRESSION/MISTAKE FIRST. No, I agree with Rich:
"90% of the PayPal users never even read the user agreement and the rules. And, even worse of the 10% or so who do read them probably 50% do not understand them. PayPal provides excellent buyer insurance when using PayPal through eBay and is very convenient for the seller." Ture, it was not always thus, for some at least; but at this late stage of the game, PayPal would either have to have its stuff together or it would've gone by the wayside long ago. (Please forgive the capitals -- they're the only substitute for italics that I know of in Plain Text.)
