Sorry...coming into this conversation rather late <wrings hands> Here's a page that bears a look, just so you know exactly what you're up against. The bit about PP's "Buyer Protection" is very instructive: http://www.ygoodman.com/paypal.asp Personally, I find it amusing when I hear people say things along the lines of "PayPal is cool/legit because eBay owns them." >From what I can tell, most people who've ever complained to eBay about anything significant will more than likely tell you that, unless the matter involves a Power Seller (these folks are highly valued by eBay and provided with an _actual phone number_ for contacting eBay) or something that will create a glaring liability for them, eBay is of little to no help. The one thing I've never really been able to reconcile with Paypal is: is it better to have a CC hooked up to your PayPal account or do a balance transfer from a bank account? I know that using a CC means you're entitled to fraud prevention/protection from the CC company. However, the fact that I have a rather large credit limit worries me about the consequences if the account gets hacked. Hooking it up to a bank account means that they can only bag whatever money is in the account (AFAIK...), but there's usually a day or two lag time between my making a Paypal purchase and the purchase amount hitting the account. It seems like I can't win here. Any insights? Best, James Fraser -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
