I stopped taking Paypal a few years ago. It's far too easy for the buyer to scam sellers that take PayPal. I had it happen one too many times and finally stopped taking it. The last one was when a buyer refused insurance and his package arrived crushed. It had an old Warfield Theatre concert poster in it. I refused a refund because he did not insure the package. He filed a complaint with Paypal and I had the money taken from my account. During the whole complaint process, there was a never an opportunity for me to explain what happened, they just took his word that I sent him the post the way it arrived.

As a buyer, I love it because I am absolutely protected, but as a seller, you are screwed if your customer files a complaint.
