Simple - don't buy it unless you or someone you can trust has looked at it. Unless it is a TOTAL bargain AND you are therefore prepared to take a punt, why bother???

I agree with you 100% Peter, PayPal 'can' be excellent and certainly convenient. I can also assure you that the day you have a transaction go wrong you will be SPEWING!!!

The problem is there are simply too many loopholes and idiotic rules that allow shonks to exploit PayPal and the simple fact that PayPal REFUSE to sign on as a signatory to the Australian electronic transactions agreement must surely ring some alarm bells??? Why the regulatory bodies in Australia allow this is beyond me?

I should have mentioned that PayPal is GREAT for smaller transactions - possibly up to $20~25. The chances of a problem are remote.

PayPal is simply not a logical option for payments above that as you are leaving yourself WIDE OPEN to be ripped off - both as a seller and a buyer!

The best thing is that, at least here in Australia, we have the Banking Ombudsman and he saves the day when the PayPal system fails (note I said "WHEN" - not "IF").

Thats maybe why I've been ok as most of my transactions are under $80 and I probally worry less, I just love the instant payment it speeds up transactions so much faster.
