Don't rely too much on PayPal. I know of one instance where PayPal did
pay after a lot of work by the injured party, BUT Pay Pal terminated
both the buyer and the seller until they got money back from someone.
They didn't care about the injured party not being responsible for the
problem of

In both negative experiences I've read so far, the injured parties did
indeed get their money back. Try that with a check that's been cashed, or
worse, a money order! For me, 85% of my luck with PayPal has probably been
cautious buying from good sellers. Common sense and a little research
Those of you who are old enough to remember the days before the Bell system
was broken up, will recall that just mentioning the name The Phone Company
evoked instant images of a huge, uncaring corporate monster with WAY more
money than it needed and absolutely NO incentive to pay attention
John: I enjoyed your comments about paypal. The website to which you refer
was also quite informative. I also like the following website:

I'm not an eBay collector but from time to time I'll use eBay for a
part or odd item. When I first signed up for Paypal I gave them my CC
number and they put some limit on what I could charge. O.K fine. It has

I fail to see where the destruction of the AS due to substandard packing has
been disputed. I also fail to see what that has to do with PayPal.

There are so many differences between PayPal and Amazon that it's not

Robert,
Agreed! But I see you got my
There is a contract between the shipper (seller) and the carrier. You, the

I find it pretty amazing that any decent person would sell something
that arrived broken, and keep the buyer's money. What goes through
