I'd just like to relate a POSITIVE Paypal story.

A few weeks ago I bought a Canon lens on Ebay for $900 and paid via Paypal. I have a lot of Ebay experience, and thought I could judge ads pretty well.

Anyway, this guy ripped me off. I never received the lens, and never heard from him again. He also sold the same lens a day later to someone else, who undoubtedly got ripped off as well.

Once I realised I'd been taken, I lodged a complaint with Ebay, which was instantly converted to a Paypal 'Claim', as I guess the second purchaser had already done the same.

Paypal investigated, managed to get the money back from the scammer, and has reimbursed my account. Thanks Paypal !

I think if you pay with Paypal then you are well covered. That said, I will never buy from an Ebay seller with a feedback of less than 25 ever again.

Cheers,
Jason.
