Do the stories posted here plant ideas in the heads of others about ways to use PP especially to take advantage of sellers?

Works for me.
Edited, this works since sig conf does not seem to make any difference because the purchaser can just claim that the package was empty.
Edited, prove the packages was full, I dare you.
Edited, honest it had 3.7 ounces of paper in it.
<< <i>Sure, buy gold and platinum. Do chargeback and re-sell to pay off other debts.

You forgot 1 step.....after the chargeback, offer "partial payment" to seller...tell him it is downpayment and the rest will come. once he accepts the payment, police stay out of it....
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Being able to document/air your grievance is desirable, but it is no substitute for relief. I know that the horror stories on these threads are perhaps not a representative sampling of the experience of those using Paypal, but If I were a prospective seller (I'm not knowledgeable enough about coins anyway), I would be terrified to use them. However unscientific my fears might be, I wouldn't use them. Once I had built a good relationship with my dealer, as a courtesy, I would just send him an email so that he could kill the Ebay auction of any item that I wanted. And I simply mailed him a personal check that day. Why make him give Ebay and Paypal their liter of blood/kilogram of flesh? Paying by check is something simple that I can do for a dealer and now also a friend. He really appreciates it. And he likewise trusts me, because he ships the same day that he receives my check or even earlier. I know from looking at the postmark So what about it dealers? How many of you are niche specialists that get repeat business from the same bidders? Any chance that you can forge such a relationship of trust and have some bidders save you on some of those fees? Or is my case a rarity?

Key word, "some".

Oops
I am dead serious.
