Actually, after really thinking about it, Homepin has done us a big favour re paypal. The protection is not really worth anything unless u really know their system back to front.
I am going to really study the whole paypal protection policy(s) in detail and try n report back what goods n bads i find.

The only real way to do business with paypal is to pay via a credit card. If u are not happy, and dont get ya stuff, u simply raise a dispute with your credit card company whi instantly refunds your money and debits the paypal people. I have personally done this when a radio controlled plane that came from the USA missing stuff and it was clearly second hand.
Thats one of the big problems, if a buyer buys something from u , using paypal via their credit card, they can do the same thing even if they have the stuff and they are bodgey. I am going to attend a paypal seminar that is being conducted on the gold coast and i am going to find every trick in the book so i (we) can make sure we do not get dudded.

That guy who dudded homepin for that 2300 machine, would be in a forrest somewhere if he took me for 2300.
Hey homepin, we can always team up and go find him. lol lol lol lol. it shits ya for sure. I would be furious x 1 million for $2300.Oucchhh.

I would probably blow up the paypal building or something. lol lol lol. but i totally understand why u hate paypal now.Now, to study paypal more for sure.
