I'm so sick and tired of paypal. I've been recently selling guides to game with some starting cash for a MMORPG game that I used to play and what people have been doing is buying my auction. Paying with paypal, then I deliever the goods and like 2 days later somehow they want their money back and paypal is more than happy to oblidge and withdraw funds directly from my bank account. Like I get absoluetly no say in it at all. The problem is that I have to use ebay, and I have to only take credit cards so what else can i do????

I forgot to mention that, I don't get my product back.

Well PayPal makes their own rules, thats no secret.
Just curious why they all want refunds though...

Paypal are a fuck!ng shower of sh!t.
Same thing happened to me. They're quite happy to charge you extortionate commission, but when the sh!t hits the fan, they don't wanna know. WANKERS!!!
One good thing though, more & more sellers are stating that they do not accept paypal as a method of payment.
Check out: http://www.paypalsucks.com/ but don't link to it on an eBay auction, they will remove your item(s).

Fuckdogs - the lot of 'em!

i really haven't had a problem with paypal ever. it seems like lots of other people have though. what are some alternatives? bidpay comes to mind, but i dont know if thats the same thing.

then you should look into selling legitimate things. its like being angry at cops, you're not really mad at them, its their job, you're mad cuz you got caught. how can you be angry about it, if you know what you're doing isn't allowed? seems the other people know this and are taking advantage of you.
