You can't get a premium PayPal account (so my German seller tells me) if you don't have a credit card.

I'm still waiting for the 6 days for a think called an "Echeque" (not known to any banking law textbook I am aware of) to clear - then maybe I'll get the kick mic I eventually ebought.

So tell me - if I pay by PayPal, how do I scam a seller?

If, as I suspect, the answer is that I cannot, what is the seller's pretext for refusing to ship to ANY destination (including the mother country) outside the USA (other than the arrogance that no American of course except for governments and junior military types displays (much))?
