If you have a dispute the credit car company is probably more apt to be on your side. OTOH, if you receive funds via Pay-Pal why not use a separate account and transfer the funds into a different account immediately. That way there's nothing to suck (or more correctly ACH) back? Ah, the old days when a handshake was a man's word. I wonder how Grandfather Pay-Pal did business back then? -----Original Message----- From: Eric [mailto:ericm@pobox.com] Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2007 9:42 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Re: online auction cautionary tale David: >Payment was safely (or so I thought) received and sitting in my account. >When the fraud was detected (by me and within hours -- too bad I ship >promptly), it was sucked back. I don't trust Paypal. Then again, I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face. They're useful. My wife wanted a paypal account attached to a bank account for ease of use. So we have one. At a bank where we do *no* other business. After she gets paid, we take the money physically out of that bank and transfer it to our main bank. I've read too many tales about Paypal deciding after the fact to take money out of an account. No way would I trust them having access to our account that we use for paying our regular bills. -- Eric http://canid.com/
