I deleted my paypal account not to long ago, just didn't feel safe with them having my bank savings account on file. If something turned for the worst, theoretically it could all be withdrawn -- no thanks

well, that sucks. did you try calling your bank?

my info was from multiple forum posts of *buyers* who got scammed, tried to fight it through paypal, and were told they couldn't get the money back because the seller already withdrew it.

Yeah paypal is a scammers paradise. I think organised crime have moved into using it, scamming millions of cash and items from people every year.

The buyer has about twice the safety of the seller. Paypal also close accounts arbitrarily and generally shaft you without notice.
