<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1524237, member: 36230&quot;]Of course ebay would say that, but not because they want to protect the&nbsp; little guy. It&#039;s obviously in their best interest to have as many&nbsp; transactions as possible completed through them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, fine. Let&#039;s say I listed X&nbsp; on ebay, but a few days later found a local buyer and canceled the&nbsp; listing. If I decided to let the local buyer pay via paypal and&nbsp; something happened, should paypal&#039;s stand alone policy be voided just&nbsp; because the item was also listed on ebay? If paypal can&nbsp; legally use this ebay excuse as a reason to avoid their own protection&nbsp; policy, for anything other than ebay transactions, why use them over&nbsp; google or any other similar service?</p><p><br /></p><p>As soon as a seller cancels his listing, it should be fair game and unless&nbsp; paypal can somehow <u>prove</u> both parties engaged in so-called &quot;restricted&nbsp; activities&quot; (and even then), they should have to at least try to honor their protection policy. After&nbsp; all, this is what they are paid to do and if they refuse because the&nbsp; item was not sold through ebay, there is an obvious conflict of&nbsp; interests here. How can paypal promote a protection policy and claim its&nbsp; also good for non ebay sales if they deny non ebay claims without absolute proof? Remember that just because a company has a&nbsp; certain policy (think cart damage at super markets), it does not mean&nbsp; that policy is legally binding. The simple fact that most people will&nbsp; think such a policy negates the companies responsibility is more than&nbsp; enough reason for them to advertise it.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years ago my&nbsp; windshield was smashed by a rock that fell off of a dump truck. On the&nbsp; back of said truck their was a small sign stating that they are not&nbsp; responsible for window breaks, paint damage, etc, but guess who paid for&nbsp; the new windshield. At this point, the best thing the OP could do is to contact an attorney.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
