I've never used e-bay or paypal - but some years back I was looking into e-bay in the capacity of a potential seller - I got bogged down with the whole business of paypal - stumbled onto a website devoted to personal horror-stories involving sellers' experiences with that service - after reading forty or fifty of them, I got discouraged - and another of my brilliant schemes died in birth ...
