[VFB] Ebay and Paypal troubles Attn: Harry

[Deborah Duran]

John I didn't send that post but I have been reading them and asked Doug to forward the information to me.  I will pass on what I sent to him....   When I set up Pay Pal I chose not to get verified for the simple reason that I would  never give that open of a link to my checking account. Not because of my lack of faith in PayPal, just because of the issues of hackers.  I've had no problems with this what so ever because of my excellent feedback.  I also would never use a visa/mc debit card on line for anything.  They don't offer the same fraud protection as a regular VISA or MASTERCARD.  Read carefully the fraud clauses on the cards you use online for any purchases.  Make sure you use a reputable one with a reasonable fraud clause and great customer service reputation.  Never email your card information to ANYONE!!!  This is not a secure link.  Just my thoughts....  Maybe Harry could post the Ebay information once for everyone.  I believe a lot of us may use Ebay to pick up our flytying supplies and or collectibles.

My eBay account is one of the ones I was frozen out of when I had my computer problems. My account had over 200 transactions with no negatives and I hate to open a new account and lose all that, but I have not been able to get to a real person on eBay, all I get is FAQ's that refer me in circles to questions about lost passwords, pre-formatted replies, etc. My wife uses our PayPal account and checks it often, so we have not had a problem with that, thank goodness. Any help or info you may have on this topic would really be appreciated. Once again, my apologies for butting in. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from my family to you and yours.                                      -John, Denise & Michael
