interesting...it's pretty ridiculous how easy it is to get shafted when buying hard goods online from other people. You'd think with the money paypal is raking in they'd be able to afford a little more protection... oh well. Then again, if they did it'd be really easy to fuck with them on a large scale, so I suppose they don't have much of a choice.
I remember way back when playing EQ - I quit and decided to sell my character. Made a clean 2300$, and was thrilled. Then I get an e-mail saying all the money had been taken away due to a dispute, and because it was electronic goods, I had no receipt of shipment or anything lol. So - I started getting collection notices from paypal, but I was still in highschool and worked like 6 hours a week on the weekends, so I just ignored it (ignorant kid I guess) - until one day they just stopped coming. Someone told me that when Ebay bought paypal they bought out all their debt, and I guess decided it wasn't worth going after all the money owed. *shrug*
