never, ever use PayPal

So, after confirming to PayPal that I've received a box of rocks in return by my remorseful buyer, PayPal went ahead and refunded his money! Upon calling these bozos, I find that they really don't care much about what the seller says, just what the buyer says. I've furnished them with pictures and rock solid proof that this buyer has been dishonest, yet they don't care. Their response is, "take it to the postal inspector or the local authorities." Yeah, for $70, I'm going to file a postal claim, call the police in another state, etc.

Thankfully, I emptied my PayPal account and severed its ties with my bank account. This way, they cannot take my money away from me. And while it might sound dishonest on my part, I'm just abandoning the account until PayPal wises up and listens. Just do a web search for PayPal dishonesty or fraud and you'll see a ton of problems. I thought I was lucky...guess my luck ran out.

If anyone in the candlepin community would like the fraud's name and address, I'll be happy to provide it.
