I haven't been burned by paypal "yet"... I would rather them leave it alone and let the check and Money order people stay around. I got burned once on a 6 dollar decal that never showed up after several emails and a promise to send a second one... Almost got burned one time on a deal made after an auction ended... He got my 400 bucks plus change and several months later I finally got my part after many phone calls... Last deal I will make like that one. I do use paypal, I use a bank that is separate from my regular bank so if something happens it isn't going to affect my other finances. After several years of Internet, I am still scared of online transactions..... I probably always will be... I still use stamps and snail mail for most things even though everyone trys to get us all to do every single thing in life online ...
