I still have no resolution, but hopefully, if this works out i get my money back, since I never got the item. If you can't afford to spend your own dime on shipping on money that you'll get back eventually, you shouldn't be paying for an internet connection...or the digital camera you bought to take the pictures of that item. This is business. Large or small, people often have up to a 30-day waiting period for services/products rendered. There's no reason any of you should be any different. If it was a more perfect world, there wouldn't be scammers, and this wouldn't be necessary to protect the BUYERS...you know, the people who help you make money. If you're at all serious about selling your item and protecting yourself, you'd know this is the way to do things in the real world...if not...go to craigslist. i dont know of any company that will wait 30 days for you to pay for an item will FORD GM CHRYSLER or any other car dealer wait for their money and let you drive off the lot for a 30 day test ride no they want their money before the car leaves the lot and if you do buy the car can you return it for your money back in 45 days like paypal does no you cant same with any other company you pay sears for a washer dryer they deliver it but before they deliver it you need to pay them do you not. same thing here i dont have access to the cash to ship you arent going to get your item i dont use paypal anymore i refuse paypal on the few ebay auctions i have left its check or money order thats all since they feel they can do this they make a **bleep** load of interest off the money they hold check out by where your balance is listed it tells you the yield they are making the world doesnt work this way its cash and carry "If you can't afford to spend your own dime on shipping on money that you'll get back eventually, you shouldn't be paying for an internet connection...or the digital camera you bought to take the pictures of that item" this line is a load of **bleep** too companys/sellers shouldnt have to pay for shipping an item you bought you want it sent to you you are going to have to pay to have it sent .same deal as above you buy a car of the net and it has to be shipped to you you are going to pay for it the dealer or seller isnt going to do that I was selling on ebay to make some extra money for christmas which got ruined thanks to ebay/paypal who seized my account do to me issuing some refunds yea bad business ethics refunding people money thats how paypal saw it i dont have money falling out of my **bleep** but i do ok and depending on the item i was selling depended if i shipped the item out or not if it was a laptop or computer part i didn't ship out of my pocket since it would require insurance and special static wrap to keep from damaging it i'm not putting 10-20 dollars out to mail you your item that is why you paid the shipping in the first place is it not. business wants to make money not break even if i was breaking even i wouldn't have sold on ebay ,but ebay and paypal have increased their fees requiring me to say to **bleep** with free shipping or shipping out of my own pocket i get fees for listing an item get charged for lising multiple pictures lets not forget about charged for opening a store then i get final value fees for selling said item then paypal comes in with no lube and **bleep**s you again when does enough become enough by the time scrooge and ebay get through pounding your **bleep** you made a few bucks on your item if you were lucky if you were having a good month then you were unlucky because scrooge and ebay freeze your account due to suspicious activity and have no fear about your money being returned to you your the buyer paypal always gives the buyer anything he wants even if you were in the wrong or the scammer
