yeah, I'm with Patton...It only takes about two button clicks and your paid!....so you might have to wait 2-3 days if you transfer the money  from your pay-pal account to your bank account..but that's nothing. I've been using pay-pal for 10 years without a hitch!... I think you need to give it more of a chance. What I would do is email the seller and ask him if he has a price he'd take now for it., I do that all the time when there's no "buy-now", and at least have the sellers I contact work out a deal with me(especially if there are no other bidders)...
