i have been buying off of ebay forn years have always used paypal... and i have NEVER once had a problem... as for ebay, i do admit you have to be careful when buying as there are alot of scammers, however i doesn't really take a scientist to point out the scammers.... -its the people with 0 or very little feedback who have never sold before -usually don't know jack about the product they are selling.... i have never had a problem EVER with buying on ebay or paying with paypal....
