I have over 500 feedbacks on ebay and have used Paypal since day one both for purchases and sales. I have never had an issue, I always make sure the Paypal buyer is "verified" and I have some pretty strict restrictions on the bidders for ebay. If I even think it just a little bit dicey I remove their bid and block them. With Paypal you only have 45 days as a buyer to make a claim if you never recieved your merchandise. Yes there are some fees involved but its worth it to get my money ASAP and I ship the next day. My feedback is at 100% with only one negative from some jerk about 5 years ago who just would not pay for his purchase. I ship UPS ground on everything, insure it if its worth more than $100 and ALWAYs make sure to get a signature.
