You have your brain backwards. Wear the other guys shoes. Pretend you are the seller of the item, not the buyer.
IF you were doing exactly what the seller did, would it make sense to you?
Just because somebody is all lined up to give ebay/pp the shaft for getting improperly and overly involved in transactions, does NOT mean anyone gave a damn about or was trying to screw you.
And since you are so worried about getting f*cked in the back, it would lead somebody doing business with you to believe the liklihood of you being the type to frequently f*ck others in the back. - People who trust others first are trustworthy themselves. People who are quick to point a finger and yell 'LIAR' -- ARE the liars.
Think about this: you were attempting to BUY this item that is so risky and so against the rules... You're the unpredictable junkie looking for your fix. The pusher just wants the money and to unload the goods. You are/were an insignificant but necessary evil. You are more guilty than the seller, as far as morals and rules go.
The seller here is at the most risk. He has no recourse to recover money if the deal goes poorly (you end up being a theif). All you have to do is pull your own hair, stomp your feet, jump up and down, mess your diaper, and cry a couple of crocodile tears, and voila - big momma paypal will give you your widdle munny back hunny there there its ok shh.
Grow up.
Open your mind and think just a little bigger than "ME ME ME" and start living your life more cleanly so you can begin to trust others. You'll enjoy the ride much better.
Everything else in your previous post only reinforces my point that you are untrustworthy. I mean look, you're already calling all of us crooks. You don't even know much about any of us. You come in, start calling names and hiding behind us hoping to be rescued from the big bad bully who isn't a big bad bully, you wuss! You are quick to expect from others - that which you KNOW is true about yourself. You base your perception of the world on what you know you have inside yourself, which is a mental illness by the way, go look it up.
The thief among us you are referring to is likely you. You are too quick to point the finger. We are mostly older and more mature people trying to secure our lifestyle and enjoy it in the few years we have left. We've been kicked off for technical violations of rules, not fraud or deceit. We have to sneak back into the market to do business we should never have been turned out of.
We aren't sneaking back in so we can be the dishonest buyers and cry about the big bad man trying to hide his money so PP don't get it. Does that sound more like you than it sounds like us?
I notice the scammers that show up are the younger crowd who just got caught and booted from ebay for doing something easily avoided, hidden, or covered up. Lack of planning in a manner very similar to how crackheads live on the street. You weren't even close to being scammed by the seller. Yet you already had one foot out the door and an escape route planned. Hmmmm....
Hmmm.....
Hmmmmmmmmmmm........ Uhhh HUH!
