I was dealing with a guy in AZ from Racing Junk to buy a used blower. I wanted to do an escrow service to buy it so both sides were protected, but he insisted on PayPal. I said OK, let's do PayPal but then he said his account was messed up at his bank and he could only do Friends and Family on PayPal. I told him that I worked in banking for 30+ years and that his bank is either lying to him or something because his PP account really has nothing to do with his bank, and then I told him when he gets his regular PP account fixed, contact me. Glad I bailed on dealing with that guy.

I recently sold a car, doesn't happen often, so I enlisted my ebay experienced friend Larry to post up with a BIN on the high side. Within hours someone hits BIN, then no deposit or communication. Turns out the scumbag had hacked into a dealers ebay account and done this to others as well, attempting to hack/scam PayPal accounts.

The pittance that Larry charged me for posting was well worth it!!
After re-posting the car sold within hours, clean, smooth transaction, by wire transfer.
