PayPal Charge Back Question

[D. Bergin]

Kind of scary how they threaten to go after the seller but so easily look the other way when a buyer blatantly and illegally rips somebody off with the papertrail evidence to back it up.

Whatever's the easiest way to recoup their own dollars I guess.

Paypal wants to act like a bank and a credit card company without taking the risks or following the same rules of a bank or credit card company.

Not to glamorize the banks and cc co.'s. They've done their share lately to stick it to every Tom, Dick and Harry. Merchants are being left to hold the bag more and more often lately it seems. It's a necessity to accept these forms of payment. The fees you paid to accept these forms of payment were a part of the cost to know you were participating in a safe transaction. That seems to no longer be the case.

They seem to be making it easier and easier for fraud without any risk to themselves, and I'm not sure why this is being allowed.
