I'm diasappointed to hear that so many of you are having problems w/ Paypal.

I don't want to jinx myself - but I've used it for years and never had a problem...

obviously the majority of people won't have problems, or else their system wouldn't work. This is just a general warning to protect everyone from being one of the randomly chosen few who get screwed.

Leo, did Paypal sell you the seats and wheels? I'm at a loss as to how they took your money.

Lot's of hijacking of ebay accounts lately to pull scams. They hack into someone's account with good feedback and then use their reputation for the scam Sucks.

I left like $45 in my paypal account for over 4 months and nothing happened. I forgot about it and then logged in and was happy there was $ in there. It was like finding $ in a pocket of old pants. But i'm still not to fond of paypal.

I fail to see how this is the fault of or a reason not to trust Paypal.
