I'm a new seller on ebay, and have been reading these horror stories about PayPal. Obviously I will not use them, so who do YOU recommend I use to do my transactions? Any advice greatly appreciated. Mel Bergman <[email protected]>

Use C2it and Bidpay. Anyone but Paypal. Paypal is heading for a big fall, several state attorney generals are in the process of investigating Paypal and one state Hawaii has already filed a lawsuit and Lousianna has banned the company from doing business in the state. I also know that a class action lawsuit is being prepared against Paypal. I don't know how far it will get but I know that Paypal has pissed off a considerable number of customers with its indifference and "bad" customer service. Most customers are angry because Paypal often treats victims of fraud as if they are the criminals and refuses to provide reasonable information on the nature of said "suspicious activity", "fraudulent funds", "suspected fraudulent funds", etc. I personally used to love Paypal but I feel that the company misleads buyers and sellers into a false sense of security with claims of insurance of user accounts up to $100,000 and such.
