Meghan, Thank you for the reply. Whilst extremely articulate, you have completely missed the point of my original post, and the comments of others have had supporting it. PayPal do everything they can to protect sellers, which I understand with honourable sellers, however, I would contend that a material percentage of sellers that use PayPal, generally through eBay or Instagram posts are indeed, counterfeiters or frauds knowing it is often too hard or not worth the cost of returning the junk they send, they count on it! Both eBay and PayPal should have a big red flag button that allows registered parties to lodge said flag which would immediately start a process of review. If say more than five independent and obviously qualified members complain “qualified because we are registered with PayPal” . It should be sufficient for PayPal to freeze all activity to and from the potential scammers account at which time the scammer gets shut down. PayPal could quite easily rub out this fraudulent activity but simply chooses not to because the scammers are a key part of their revenue model! Like so many others I am seriously exploring and dealing with credible alternatives to both PayPal and Ebay in Amazon. To be frank, eBay and PayPal only have them self to blame. For the record, I still see adverts everyday from the scammers under multiple different companies and it infuriates me to think of the amount of people that are being ripped off by them with your support!
