Re: PayPal = Awful for Seller; Linkage to EBay is Huge Probl

Dear Jarl,

the e-mail sounds very suspicious, it might be spam and the wrong people try to give you a false link to your account, so they will get your password. So DON'T use that link!!! I think I got a similar e-mail a while ago, always the same dirty game. Log in to your paypal account the usual way (e.g. paypal.com) and then see if there is any information about the problem. If there isn't, you should ignore the mail and forward it to paypal so they can check it and take further action (spoof@paypal.com).

In case that you have already followed the (false) paypal link: Change your password immediately and contact paypal (but not the gangsters!).

Best wishes,
oliver

: some months ago, I read PayPal's "fine print" /
: legalese regarding the seller's position, in a PayPal
: transaction . . . the quick summary is that, in an effort to
: provide Buyer Protection, they place the seller in an awful
: position.

: the bigger problem, however, is the EBay requirement for EBay
: sellers to accept PayPal. People try some creative ways around
: this requirement, but it is a huge problem for sellers of
: high-dollar items.
