It is now a common method of fraud to empty the bank account the moment the 
money arrives.  Then when the buyer learns he has been defrauded, PayPal 
makes the lame excuse that they cannot recover the money because it is no 
longer there.  With so muvh Identity theft now, opening a bank account wth a 
fraudlent Social Security number is as easy as breathing.....

Bonsoir,

Since *bay and Paypal are mentioned here every so often, I was wondering
if anybody (surely someone must) has an explanation for the following. In
the last couple of days I was going to bid (and surely win) some items on
*Bay. However the sellers flatly refused to accept a method of payment
other than Paypal. My feedback is perfect. Why would anyone actually tie
their hand with Paypal (who do not have the greatest of reputation
businesswise) and lose money? Did this happen to anyone on this list?

Thanks,

Robert (Un chevalier sans blason)
