Animal got ripped off (he claims) by them, he always over reacts. he is an extreme person. Dont even worry about it. Animal, other than for kits, is way over board about things.

Animal - extreme ?!?!? ROTFLMAO

Seriously; MANY people have been ripped off by PayPal. The problem is that someone else can initiate the action. And you have no recourse through the way PayPal is structured (they are not a "regulated" institution!!!). I haven't had problems in the past and I don't intend to in the future - so I quit using them.

I can't afford to have the accounts that are tied to PayPal "tied-up"
