I started to reply to this thread last week, but didn't as I didn't want to steer it more off topic. But, since it appears as though it is hopeless at this point, I will add my 2 pennies.
I also have been a member of ebay since 1997, and I think paypal was the best thing ever to happen to ebay. I despised having to trudge down to the bank or post office to get a MO, send it off and hope my items came. For the person who sent it on the 8th day and lost his recourse, there is a simple solution. Send it in 7 days. I hate it when people take forever to ship stuff out. When I sell something, it is on the truck the same or next day after I receive their money. Of course there could always be emergency things that come up, but drop an email or phone call and work it out. X, I don't understand how you were scammed out of the 270 dollars. If you sent the items, you should have paperwork from the shipping company. Something that spendy I can't imagine throwing a stamp on and putting it in the nearest blue box. If you have paperwork that it was shipped, and if the person never received it, you have a claim against the shipping company. If you have paperwork showing they received it, you have a claim against them for fraud. Either way, it isn't paypal's fault. At any rate, if people don't want to use paypal, so be it. I won't purchase from anybody who doesn't accept it as a general rule-unless it is a tremendously good deal (which are few and far between anymore on ebay).

I ship everything insured with delivery confirmation (CYA again). The problem was PP took the funds from my account without regard to the situation on my end, it was absurd in my opinion. I had the problem resolved obviously as I had my basis covered but the fact of the matter that irritated me is that PP acted so swiftly AGAINST ME. Had I just accepted a MO/CC/PC I could have said "oh this item was delivered on XX day to XX person, thank you for trying." Not having to prove a case against me that I'm not a scammer. I refuse to use them, if a person doesn't want to use a government backed money order (or one from Western Union for example) or a cashier's check... no problem. Heck I even accept personal checks, I sit on them until they clear or if they're from a bigger bank I simply cash them. There's plenty of other people that want my goods and can understand the situation. I understand the convenience, believe me... but for the potential for problems and the money loss involved, no thanks.
