They along with Amazon seem to always be leading the field in new technologies. It's staggering to think about how much goes on in their databases every minute. The must have some crew managing it. Selling on eBay though keeps getting tougher. Terrific for consumers as it drives down values but when you think you have a rare book then jump on eBay and see 10 copies all listed for $2.00 ouch...just have to keep working harder.

Far from offering protection, Paypal itself is a bigger scam than anything else unsuspecting sellors or vendors are likely to encounter. Paypal have illegally frozen members accounts, fined its customers arbitrarily with no right of reply and have ignored lawsuits against them. Paypal are effectively an online bank, but are not governed by standard banking rules, and therefore are very difficult to bring to account for the kind of practices that would have any other bank shut down and its directors facing investigation by the authorities. eBay do not make Paypal mandatory because it's safer and more secure - they make it mandatory because eBay owns Paypal.
