Let me tell you something. I hate liars and paypal representatives lied to 
me over and over. I thought I was dealing with real company that was above 
board with billions of dollars of assets and told the truth.. I now realize 
why Ebay is full of sellers that paypal and ebay protect no matter if its 
good or bad.
