Was this the fault of PayPal or a scammer?  Why didn't PayPal correct 
the problems if the problems were the fault of PayPal?  What should we 
watch out for that trapped you?  I'd love to get some details so that I 
can be wary or go another route.  PayPal is just so big and well-used, 
and has been perfect for me for almost three years now.  It's hard to 
believe that they would screw you and countless others and get a bad rap 
and still be in business.  Can you elaborate on the above two disasters?

Thanks!
