"Don't be under the illusion that paypal will look after you if you get shafted. I lost £500 in an ebay transaction 2 years ago. When paypal had finally completed their inefficient and laborious investigation, all they recovered was what was left in his account (£70) as he’d spent most of it while they were f**k about.
The whole ebay/paypal system is a victim of it's own success but they really don’t give a s**t as long as the money keeps rolling in.
With this in mind, I don’t think you’re significantly safer by paying the recipient in the usual way."
read paypals fine print. this is probably in there. i dont trust ebay or paypal.
