Agree, especially when selling on Ebay! They held my money, $1700.00 to be exact when I sold my 2007 GibsonLes Paul. The buyer complained the guitar was not as described and complains to Ebay. Ebay will ALWAYS side with the buyer! Paypal returned the money to the buyer and I had to pay shipping again to get my guitar back. Guess what, when I got it back it was completly gutted!!!! This jerk of a buyer orchestrated the transaction beautifully,,,,,... Here's the logic, I was the perfect target because he knew I hadn't "sold" anything on Ebay for about 5 years and Paypal via Ebay will hold my funds until he, the buyer gives positive feedback. In short he got the parts he needed, complained to Ebay about the guitar, Ebay sides with the buyer, paypal holds my funds, I dispute and a month later Ebay forced me to PAY to have my guitar sent back to me before he gets to keep the money and gutted guitar. Also, since Ebay had to get involved I wasn't going to get my $170.00 Seller fee back. Yup, thats gone too!!!! DON'T USE PAYPAL. NO ONE NEEDS A THIRD PARTY HOLDING YOUR MONEY WHILE SCAMMERS DO WHAT THEY DO BEST. THE MARRIAGE BETWEEN EBAY AND PAYPAL IS UNBREAKABLE AND FLAWED FOR A 100% SAFE TRANSACTIONS!!
