Well, here's my story. I agreed to a month's trial of eSources, and was immediately offered an upgrade to a yearly account which I took. However, eSources do not make a subscriber aware that upgrading one's account does not cancel the original agreement, so I have been paying £25 a month on top of my annual subscription. Esources say that cancellation was my responsibility and refuse a refund. As far as I am concerned, this is an unauthorised payment, and has resulted in a negative Paypal balance. Paypal have refused to investigate my complaint, and are pursuing me to restore my negative balance, which I will be forced to do, as I cannot trade on eBay without accepting payments by paypal. Undewhelmed by whay eSources promotes. Have previously come across ArtsNow, which eSources promotes. Most of their featured traders in this business have not traded for years, including ex eBay members, having ceased trading as far back as 2007. Also don't believe the hype that you are in safe hands. I paid for an item by paypal and because the seller emptied his paypal account and never sent the goods, paypal could not issue a refund. As a consequence, I refuse to buy big ticket items because I refuse to take the risk. After all, I have twice left justified negative feedback twice being dissatisfied with a seller's response, such as the one listing an item for collection, without warning issued a demand for immediate payment, only then would the location of the item be revealed (via mobile phone). The seller refused cash on collection, despite the listing saying "contact seller to arrange payment and collection of this item" (which I immediately did) refused to sell the item to me as I had not paid within his imposed deadline of three days (email said "pay today by this evening") , filed a dispute against me and gave me an unpaid item strike which eBay have upheld as justified! My feedback regarding this has dissappeared without a trace from the sellers feedback. And no, I am not an ex eBayer. Theoretically, I could have saved £200 on my latest camera upgrade, but refuse to buy such an item on eBay, likewise a lens I want is currently auctioned. No, for the same reason I refuse to bid unless I could collect in person and verify the item before handing over any money It seems all eBay and Paypal are after is their fees, otherwise they don't give a **** regarding a dispute
