I remember trying to go down the Paypal path and being told that there was nothing they could do to help. I then went to my bank which followed through without any hassle and made sure my funds were returned. To add insult to injury Paypal then sent me an email suggesting that I should in future deal with them first.

Also, are the fees higher on the Seller's end if you use a credit card rather than funds? I seem to remember some sellers saying they would only accept PayPal payment from available funds because otherwise the fees were too high.

You think that camluz3 (bidder) and camluz2 (seller) are somehow related? Hmmm.We reported it to e-bay.

I am going to report him as well. By the way both the bidder and seller are from Michigan, it may the most obvious shill I have ever seen on EBay in 6 years.
