everyone is right here. paypal is like alot of modern day services, it works well for 99 percent of people 99 percent of the time. The PBR guy doesnt use it because he has been doing it his older way for dozens of years, and his system works for him.
at the same time, Mike is right about paypal. it is exactly like paying for something over the phone with a credit card. if u ring the bank (or paypal) and say i dint/havent authorised the payment, i want it disputed, instantly you get your money back, or within a week etc. Therefore, anyone selling anything for a large amount of money who takes paypal, is open slather to a charge back, and u can do NOTHING to get your money back. Again, 99 percent of people on 99 percent of paypal transactions are honest, and u will never have a problem, but there is always a small risk. nothing in life is perfect.
at least PBR have a good range of stock, albeit, the worlds worst pinball parts internet site without the full parts listings n prices.
* Just use Greg from RTBB or Mark C, and support the good Aussie guys. Beats mucking around with PBR and having to set up the time machine to do business.lol
