Re: Purchase protection buying from private seller...

Just looked thru it again and it does not give a definition of the term "seller" or mention any different buyer protection when buying from a non-business (private) seller.   In fact, it does not even have a section titled "Definition of terms" or the like.   So why are you being disingenuous? ...

Really?   Already read thru it and it doesn't seem to address the issue.    If anyone can find where it does, please quote what it says here.   For one thing, nowhere does it give definition(s) for the term "seller" as being either (or) a business, PP member, or non-member (private seller). ...

Am I covered (buyer protection) when buying an item unseen advertised by a private (not a business) seller on Craigslist who has a paypal account and says he will ship item to me once he receives payment?   Or what is needed for me to obtain such protection? ... View more

I saw that - just would think it makes sense that they could at least give an idea or estimate NOW WHEN they will get this problem fixed (especially phone contact) since this is a vital and important function. ... View more
