Paypal: Friend or Foe?

Jax, it's safer never to do business with non-verified accounts on PayPal. Both buyer and seller are given protections by using PayPal, but addresses and bank accounts need to be verified in order to do that. If you're not gonna use it, fine, but I think you're knee-jerking a bit here with your experience. Things got slowed down, yes, but you got your money and the guy got his item. No harm, no foul.

Harm, yes, foul, yes. I didn't get the money quick enough to pay my car insurance which was the whole point. The account was verified, but the address shipped to was not. That was their technicality at Paypal. Since I have 2 addresses and only 1 of them is "verified" by Paypal I told them to suck my balls because I'll just order shit and have it sent to my secondary address from now on so that I can dispute charges all day if that's how they operate.

Fine then. Bottom line- if you want shit fast, do it yourself.

I get paid through PayPal so they'd better be reliable.
