I'd like to offer the "correct" info about tax reporting. I am a professional tax preparer and make my living understanding the correct nuances of the US tax code. I also have an eBay store, so I have used PayPal for many years. I prefer it for my own purchases and for those who buy my product.

I ran a business making kits and used PayPal with no issues (probably over 100 transactions). Even used PayPal credit to purchase a IC-9700, with no issues. I have an excellent credit rating. If you want to check someone's transaction quality, E-Bay collects buyer/seller ratings. Mine is

Yeah, that's part of the problem of being PayPal. Some buyers are scammers, some sellers are scammers, there's no way to know what was actually in the box, and it's impractical for them to have the expertise to judge the authenticity, quality, and condition of every kind of niche item sold through

While I do some internet transactions, I'm very careful to research the company or person I'm doing business with in advance.  Both ways, when buying and when selling. Regarding internet sales, I figure there are just as many SCAMS as there are about that number of SELLERS.   That does not
