PayPal is run by imbeciles. I was once scammed on eBay by a buyer who received my item, then returned a broken identical one, notifying PayPal that I scammed him. Without even looking at my sales record or waiting for my response, they took the money out of my account and closed the issue.

After a month and a half of fighting on the phone with people who can't comprehend basic logic, getting an affidavit notarized, AND submitting photo evidence of the switch: I was only awarded 80% of the original amount.

The buyer was allowed to continue using eBay and PayPal to scam people, and I got negative feedback.

From this experience and the countless others posted to blogs every day, it's astonishing people still use the service.

Boycott PayPal!

Actually, as soon as the seller as a decent amount of feedback, I switch to wire transfers, if available. Why should I make an hardworking person pay to get paid?

Truth is: PayPal is too big to care about the little guy.
