Never had the first problem with them. I have been using Paypal for a long time.
The only problems I have ever had is with purchases on Audiogon where I have sent checks or money orders and the guy disappears. Reason why I refuse to buy via anything but Paypal. Lot of trust in sending someone money and you really have no recourse if he bails. Puts everything on the buyer because the seller gets their money and you don't know what you're getting. This is a rare thing because most people are very trustworthy, however, it has happened 3 times. I will do COD which shares responsibility. Of course the buyer may not accept the package if he changes his mind. No perfect way.
