Hello all,

I recently had the displeasure of loosing $161.00.  Gone with no apparent 
ability of recuperation.  Burn those $100 bills, baby. My TR6 could 
certainly use those funds. The cost of a new wire wheel, a nylon carpet set, 
a seat foam kit, etc.

I feel that the PayPal sytem is anything but secure.  I will no longer 
accept PayPal for anything I sell, that is certain.  Unless you authorize 
PayPal to have control of your bank account or you are willing to take a 
chance as to whether the funds wil be good or not.  And with absolutely no 
way of knowing.  Going to the casino at least you know what your odds are.

I sold an item on eBay and accepted payment via PayPal.  The buyer had zero 
negatives and I shipped the item to their confirmed address.  And I have 
proof.  Doesn4t matter.  PayPal doesn4t care.  I did everything that both 
PayPal and eBay require for the transaction.  2 months after the transaction 
PayPal automatically took the funds back out of my account and further told 
me that they would not help me with the situation by giving me any 
information concerning the issue.  I have to have a subpoena.  This was 
their response.  PayPal could just as easily have said: "Go *bleep* 
yourself".  I have absolutely no way of correcting the situation and getting 
my money without spending far more money than was robbed of me.  Welcome to 
PayPal.

I feel that everyone should stay FAR away from PayPal, both on the buyers 
side and the sellers side.  PayPal clauses have zero-risk built into the 
deal only for PayPal and all of the risk built into the agreement for the 
buyers and sellers.  They never loose a cent, but you surely can! ! ! 16,100 
cents in my case.  My example is perfect.  I even read and understood the 
USER AGREEMENT.

Of course I am available to further expound on this issue for those 
interested, though it will take me a while to respond, as I4m currently in 
Spain.  Off line of course.

I just wanted all you good people to know.

Sincerely,
Dave Herbert
