I really don't know how anyone can say that Pay Pal is for the buyer and not for the seller because I got ripped off by a SELLER and PayPal sided with them. I can't say for sure whether I was sent a bad product in the beginning OR it was damaged in the shipping process because it obviously wasn't packaged correctly. But nontheless, I ordered an espresso machine for a b'day present and because I didn't order it the day before the b'day,PAYPAL sided with the seller and said that I should have contacted the within a reasonable amount of time. It was 2 months.... PAYPALS rules not mine is 180 days to file a claim. The espresso machine sat unopened for a month - oh forgive me, PayPal for ordering ahead of time and not doing things on the spur of the moment - then it wasn't used for 2 weeks. When I used it, it didn't work... wouldn't push the water thru the coffee. I tried to find out from ebay what to do and by the time I gave up on them it had been a few more weeks, which during that time I had mailed the seller a letter explaining what was going on (per ebay's instructions). I didn't do anything else while waiting on the seller to respond - which she didn't.... totally ignored me. So finally after a few weeks of not reallizing that she was going to do anything, I contacted Pay Pal who said that I should have filed a report sooner. Why the **bleep** do they say 180 days if they are not gonna honor it. Well I turned them into the BBB and RipOff Report and I will put this story on every website I can find. I WILL NEVER USE PAY PAL FOR ANYTHING OVER $5 because I know that if it is broke I will never get it replaced or my money back. So the buyer that PayPal sided with - kudos to you because that is not the way that my story goes. I will buy my products from the store from now on because if it is broke I know that I can always take it back. PAY PAL SUCKS!!!!!! I wouldn't recomend anyone use them as they will only get ripped off. And they say that you are safe using them.....YEAH RIGHT! I think that I will start selling all of my personal belongings that I have at home that are broke. I can make some money on broke things and the buyer will be **bleep**...... SUCKY PAY PAL. UNFAIR.....UNKOOL. There are better ways to buy things than this. DO NO BUY ON LINE ANYMORE. warning - PAYPAL WITH RIP YOU OFF (and if you buy anything ahead of time, you are punished for it. I wouldn't go thru pay pal but if you do, you better not buy anything till the day before you need it because if it comes broke you are **bleep** out of luck if you used PAYPAL)
