RE: Some New Paypal Rules

Absolutely. IMO, many-to-most are already morally bankrupt.

A few months ago, I sold a 3-year old excellent condition $8k amp for $3k.

Compared to my new $2k amp that runs musical circles around the $8k amp, that 180 days allows the buyer that much time to let his friends convince him he could have done better.

Around month 5 buyer's remorse sets in so deep that he's willing to compromise what's left of his morals, have his soldering friend do something funky to the amp, then submit his claim to paypal that the amp wasn't what he thought he'd purchased.

Now I'd be out the $3k and I'd get back an amp that now has potentially no value or maybe it costs me $1800 to make it right, only to potentially go through the same thing with the next buyer.

No more paypal when selling after the 11/18.

Thank goodness I've already sold most of my big ticket items. I don't want nor need the anxiety of waiting 6 months to see how creative the buyer might be, entirely at my expense.

Somebody at Paypal is smokin' somethin.
