Look it up, this can happen to anyone. I had no idea I was paid with a CC and no idea that paypal could just freeze the funds that I got for my part + shipping.

Then on top of that my new motor came in broken with lots of parts missing. Paypal straight up denied my claim telling me that all they ensure is that something gets shipped to me. It could have been shit a in box and as long as that seller had a shipping # they were going to deny my claim.

Both of these issues after being a paypal member for something like 9 years. I can't imagine how much money they have made off me by offering a false sense of security.

Maybe its just buying and selling and dealing with dickwads that I hate. but like this other guy said, gotta sell shit somehow.
Any suggestions other than Paypal?

Ever tried Google Checkout or similar? I have a customer wanting to buy a machine off me with a credit card and I'm trying to find the most cost effective way to do it and also safest. Can't be screwing around with 8k
