This is even more off topic, but something kind of amazing happened when a guy recently bought an old glass plate negative from me...he called a day or so after the end of the auction to ask if he could defer payment for two weeks...he is in Boston and he recognized my last name. It turns out that his wife is cousins with my cousin.

Some of us actually do have issues with Paypal. I recently sold an old iphone on ebay. Overseas. The guy paid using paypal. After he received the phone, he said it wasn't the model he wanted and asked for a refund. I agreed to a full refund. 15 minutes later he asked for a partial refund and he would just keep the phone. Which I agreed to. So after receiving my phone AND a refund, he advised ebay that he never receved the phone! Total scam. To make a long story short, I have no access to paypal until the dispute is resolved. Going on 6 months. So yes, I know firsthand that people can have problems with paypal. And yes, I have to pay everything in the meantime with a money order.
