<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jmon, post: 669483, member: 19422&quot;]I agree that buyers need protection. However, Sellers need it too and PayPal is not protection since it is undone as easily as it is done...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Let me give you a specific example:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I sold a box of 2009 pennies to a buyer. The buyer recieves them then sends me an email claiming that the box was shorted several rolls and that there was several things (trash) in the box that should not have been. In this case I know he is lying; however, I am to a large degree unprotected. The only protection I have is that I was fortunate enough to pack the box in front of a Postal Clerk I know and had a reciept to prove the weight was correct. If the Buyer wanted to take it to eBay/PayPal I would have almost certainly lost. Add to this that I spoke with one of the previous Sellers to this Buyer who claims that the Buyer tried the same trick with him and I MIGHT have a chance at winning with eBay/PayPal, albeit slim.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, all that being said, I want to stress I think <b>both parties need protection</b>. I also realize that it will be hard to find a balance. However, when eBay removed the Seller&#039;s ability to rate a Buyer they stuck it to the Sellers. At this point, I would say a dishonest person could easily steal thousands upon thousands of dollars in goods from various sellers with ease and eBay/PayPal would basically grease the skids for the Buyer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
