Some great reads on ebay & paypal. A lot of "hate" out there.

It's called the "missing link".

The only problems I've had with either over 10 years and over 1,500 sales have been caused by me.

It's the 'devil you know'.

Only minor issues here and there. eBay tends to fix things that aren't broken. PP rips me off on exchange rates, but then again, so would a bank (FX fee). I had my first ever NPB six months ago. The process was weird and I couldn't leave feedback. I see the buyer is at 100% poz still and no NPB strike visible.

But - I just bought some stuff for the Valk and, at first, went through their Google checkout. For once I did the 'read' bit on the "I've read and agree with the terms". Must be getting old. Usually it was "Meh, whatevz, I agree, they wouldn't screw me on purpose, bla-bla" aclickety. This time, took the time to read said terms after entering my personal and credit card info - and toasted it all, ran the other way. To PayPal. Things like...'we reserve the right to conduct periodic credit-worthiness checks....the right to share your information abroad...yada yada". NO thanks.
I'll take the devil I know that still hasn't seriously screwed with me or my info.
