I have to agree with Sciencemonster-I lose absolutely no sleep over slightly screwing Ebay and or Paypal. Unfortunately, there isn't any way to screw Paypal, since EVERYTHING is paid for by Paypal.I THINK Ebay owns controls Paypal, right??
Ebays rules are written to max their revenue.Assisting their customers is strictly a function of maxing revenue.They don't want to piss people off so much that they quit Ebay.
I don't begrudge Ebays emphasis on revenue-they are a Corp,and that is what corps do. However, I am ME, and I do what I do-which is favor me over Ebay. I pretty much assume everyone selling on ebay is more or less honest(and I've found they are, with some notable exceptions) ,and I don't make bids with money I can't afford to lose($120 or so is about it for me).
