    Well, I guess this blows the theory that scammers are smarter then you to bits, I would not send out an item worth 5 cents until payment is in my PayPal account and already in the process of being transferred to my bank account.

    Sorry, it's a pet peeve, and it was repeated in this thread like 5 times and I'm seriously going to be ill. No offense, please, but its smarter than not smarter then. If I see the mistake again I will try to ignore it but as you all know I have a hard time with self control.
