Poolcue, nice to see a fellow english football fan.

Being a United supporter myself, I've had some fantastic days out at Craven Cottage. One of the best trips in London.. Better than the shite down the road from you thats for sure...

Always has alot of time for Fulham fans. They've always made United fans welsome and theres never any hassle between the two clubs..

Fulham are definitely my favourite London team. Mind you, theres not much else in London realy is there...

I have one. But I had some problems with them and changed to another service.

I have a PayPal account but I have only used it on eBay. My understanding is that PayPal let the US government look over its records.

I have two, for ebay purposes and have never had a problem with it, yet there's a LOT of stuff over the net saying it's pretty much a rip off.

A good portion of those stories claiming Paypal ripped them off are moronic. I sold an item and I mailed it before the payment cleared, then I got screwed by Paypal....I bought some shit and never got it, so I filed a claim...the seller told me to drop the claim and they will mail the shit so I did. They never mailed it and Paypal screwed me by not reopening the claim. I bought 100 CDs and after a month of not getting responses from the seller, I paid them anyway and they ripped me off, and it is Paypal's fault.

The only legitimate screwing happens if the buyer of your item pays paypal with fraudulent money...you as the seller are blamed...which is weird as the point of paypal is that only Paypal gets the buyers credit card info. This means if you sell some shit and the buyer uses a stolen card, Paypal will charge the money back when the credit card company files a chargeback to Paypal. You will not get paid and you lose the item that you send. Cause the buyer obviously isn't mailing it back, they used a stolen card to pay for it in the first place.

Paypal is known to be very biased against sellers. When it comes to fraud cases, they tend to side with the buyer more often than not. If you wanna read some horror stories...

I thought about opening an account but after all this negative publicity about PayPal, I'm sure glad i never did.
