>So, I take it you never use a credit card
How did you reach that conclusion? I have not said, I refuse to tell name and
address
to seller. Credit cards in europe, like paypal, provides an option to make a
claim
against seller. The legal quality on how these protests are managed, I do not
know.
I claim gnutaler does not change the fact, that seller can do profiling if he
has proper
software. Stallman opposes surveillance and profiling. That is why I think
gnutaler does
not enable Stallman to buy items from shops on the internet. We do not know
what he
would say.
>That has nothing whatsoever to do with payment method.
Which I have not claimed. It was about profiling. In europe it is commonly
required to
inform your name and address, if you buy something from a shop on the
internet. Seller
having this set of data, enables him to make a profile. I wanted to know if
gnutaler
changes this. It does not.
>Besides this, I must say that there's a fantastic irony here.
There is an illogical conclusion from your side.
Paypal is not a seller of the items I buy. Paypal manages the payment.
Included in
paypal's service is a purchase protection. It is part of what they sell. If
it was common knowledge that paypal's purchase protection is a scam and does
not work for buyer, I would not use paypal. Several times I have bought from
fraudulent sellers. I got my money back filing a paypal purchase protection
complaint. My experience is, paypal purchase protection works. But I do not
trust them to be highly qualified on consumer law and would not be surprised
would paypal make a wrong decision in a purchase protection case.
>PayPal's purchase protection is not protecting you from Ebay.
I have not said so. Ebay says, if you do not make a paypal payment, you can
make not complaint to ebay about seller.
>Ebay owns PayPal.
What is the relevance? In a dispute paypal looks on the data and makes a
decision.
>e-cash to Ebay and let them handle everything else
Can you provide some documentation? I do not know of this option.
