I will not ever use paypal again!!!! I can't close my account right now but I sure called my bank and put a halt on any paypal access to it and my credit card. After they sided with a seller on a snad that got my money and item I shipped back. Proved the item was fake when I faxed documentation from a well know corp. and the day they closed my dispute the seller started listing again. Sure showed the shoe fit the boot in this case. I hope this site takes off and works the thought behind it sounds great.
Sorry this has happened to you!! Paypal and Ebay are really sticking it to everyone they can and it looks as if they have been doing it for years and getting away with it.
It will take time for this site to become established as it does with all sites but I am here for as long as it is. There are enough of us out there that need to band together we just have to work on getting us all in one place. Hang in!
