Paypa? Id rather get a tooth extraction with no painkillers
Zip-I have to disagree with you on using Paypal- They are dictatorial with no thought of customer service-Its like dealing with a mini-Federal Government.
Though I agree with you that they keep history-though little good that will do when they like Ebay look for ways not to take a stand and avoid even the slightest whiff of any potential liability.
The only way to be safe is to do your buying and selling at swap meets and have cash exchange hands face to face.
If you are not close to the big meets-save your money for the airfare and take the parts you buy and ship them to your residence UPS insured.
I'd sell all my projects before I ever used Paypal again.
