Pay Pal is most useful for payments, but larger international sites where I shop fairly regularly (not Ebay), have started sending the total amounts for purpchase and shipping, asking to pay x amount into their PP account, without the itemised invoice - so it doesn't offer any protection what so ever.

And I don't care about that as I have dealt with all htese companies before - and am using this method of payment for the convenience only.

As this is mostly for items of clothing/shoes/underwear, that sort of thing - they obviously don't want to be the subject of these silly 180 days claims.

And I don't blame them - I wouldn't do it either.

But sadly, for sellers,  doing it that way on Ebay is just not possible.
