Paypal insecure?


I read this on another forum when a seller refused to use Paypal:

"
I have heard such a horror stories from internet. Paypal doesn't offer any protection for sellers. Buyer can even send an empty letter back to seller to get a refund from Paypal. Just say that you want to send the item back you have purchased and provide a tracking number to get a refund."

I wonder if this is true??

I paid the seller via bank transfer and got the item as described.

They are not a bank and cannot be held responsible to you like a bank. They can put a hold on any account they have access to.

1. Get a separate bank account at a different bank than you now deal with and no links to anything else in your life.
2. Put a minimum amount of money in the account, enough not get bank charges.
3. Remove any money they transfer to it ASAP.
