Don, I've pretty much quit responding to your posts, but read them sometimes anyway. You need to back up on this one though and think about it. How many customers do you think paypal has? 20,000, 30,000, 500,000 ????? Let's see...120 problems out of 500,000??? The scam is not paypal's fault, but stupid users fault. If you read it on the internet though, it must be true, right???? Do you *really* think that all of the lawyers and finance people that work for e-bay would have bought them if they didn't do a *lot* of due-diligence in finding out about their business??? No, they bought them because they were doing a *lot* of business off of the e-bay auction money movement and e-bay didn't have a clue how to beat them at their own game. Think about it....
