Seems to me you have a remarkable amount of time to 'defend' PayPal. As for it being suitable for 'some' sellers....do enlighten me. PayPal''s entire website, contact procedures, even these so called community forums are complex, suspiciously so. Yes, the small print should always be read. However, it may come as a surprise to you, but small print does not make a company or corporation immune from glaring shortcomings. I recently sold on a website that I was misled into believing PayPal usage was mandatory. It is no biggie, as the item I sold was tracked and received, I have all email records from a very satisfied customer, and if....in half a years time he pulls a scam with PayPal blessing (which is what the 180 day buyer protection is), no biggie.....I will absorb it, much wiser. But. Rest assured, I - and many others - along with increasing media sources are alarmed at our opinion of PayPal's utter inadequacy vis a vis the seller, and will do all we can to stop other people making a huge mistake and using its services to sell. The money in my account will be spent....and I will enjoy the ludicrous 180 day protection on an item I have already selected, but not another thing will I sell as my account will be terminated.
