***Warning re: Ebay and PayPal ***

[becky3086]

If I am not mistaken, it is what you agreed to when you signed up for Paypal. I really think Paypal does have some good uses when it comes to being a buyer. For instance, I have ordered eggs from someone on here--three weeks ago. They haven't bothered to send them and I am going to file a claim to get my money back.
As for an item you sell arriving broken, no matter what you put on that auction about the buyer purchasing insurance and you not being responsible for postal mishandling, they buyer will still get their money back, if it doesn't arrive in the shape it should.
Either way, Paypal fees are ridiculous. A short while ago I got some eggs and for various reasons needed to get a refund. When I paid the seller Paypal got money and when I got refunded my money Paypal got another fee so really, I lost out twice

Many of us signed up for PP many years ago and don't use it regularly enough to be aware of all of the policy changes. Now I use it when absolutely necessary, but prefer to send or receive a MO or bankcheck now. I'd rather even take a personal check and wait for it to clear.
