i'm sorry, but this has nothing to do with paypal. You probably would have fallen for it if it was a credit card. Likely the only reason you were scammed was because of your greed. They likely offered a generous reimbursement if you could just handle the up front costs. Seriously, who gives money to sell something? Do stores do that? Do gas stations? Does Mcdonalds? Really, if you are SELLING something, why would you send money? The only thing Paypal is guilty of is playing the 'we are loved' and other crap like that. Paypal is a transaction providing company. They are not there for insurance. Might as well blame western union, or the internet, or pavement. Next time, if you are selling something, TAKE money. DON"T give it. If you use Paypal, READ their terms and conditons and their FAQs. It's always there in black and white.
