Never had a problem with using PayPal and I'll continue using it. A do admit that I do feel better when I deal with a VERIFIED PayPal user.

From what I've gleened reading this thread is that PayPal is not the problem (unless you want to close your account), It is that a crook can figure out how steal from a person using any payment method. That's the type of person they are.
