Ebay
Warnings about PayPal shipping, insurance and bank account charges

First off, just do and dont' do the following:

DO: BE CAREFUL: When "synching" your paypal account to your ebay account, realize your email address will not synch, causing people to make payments they don't want to correct to possible old email addresses for not so active ebay clients.

Remember ebay was started for people and businesses as a "rummage sale" sort of a format, not a B2B format.

DO: Take snapshots of every transaction you make with them and save them on your computer.

DON'T: Trust their new USPS shipping deal. USPS denies they have any deal with Paypal and are merely claiming that Paypal is using them. Paypal is charging more money than USPS would in most instances. But all online shipping should be avoided for a seller who has more to lose than a buyer in most situations, since there aren't any penalties for fraudulent buyers. Also, when you buy insurance using Paypal, I used it for 10 products purchased over 30 days time, and NONE showed up as insured when I insured all 10.

DON'T: Give Paypal your bank account, they will all the more easily make fraudulent charges against you for the purpose of nothing else but insurance for their mistakes. Sometimes being Sponge Bob Square Pants isn't the best idea.

DO: Contact the MAYOR's office, not just the Attorney General's office to STOP Paypal from turning America and possibly the world into a warzone.
