Well hey man, paypal has screwed thousands of people. When I asked what exactly it was that they do, they told me they protect your personal and financial information. Personally I think they provide a great opportunity for crooks to rip hard working people off. I mean I can list a diamond ring on craigslist or sell a car part on a forum and once I receive the money I can send the buyer a roll of toilet paper and paypal won't do anything! If you want to start a class action lawsuit against paypal, I'm game
The rusty alternator wasn't the first time paypal screwed me. I got ripped off for a plasma TV that I bought on ebay a few years ago. The seller had a fake account and never sent me sh!t. I lost $1898 on that deal and paypal didn't do squat!
