Either party, seller or  buyer, can take the matter before a court of law for a legal settlement to the  dispute."  ------------------------------------------------------This is true but it gets complicated when Paypal (owned by Ebay) gets involved. Whereas Paypal iniates the hold on the money. In my case Ebay said that they had nothing to do with the money and I would have to contact Paypal. Paypal opened a case and said they were investigating. But the truth is that likely no one read the case and most likely had no plans to go against buyer protection. So, in the end-after attempting to find someone who would look into the case it was the classic run around. Ebay says to contact Paypal. Paypal says to contact Ebay. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to make sure one had the right defendant named and served to go to court. Sounds very costly just on the beginning of getting a case started. Bottom line is that the sellers have limited expensive options that likely make any challenge not cost effective against any scammer.[/QUOTE]
