ebay buyer protection.....really!  I've not recieved an item which I paid for on Paypal, I've attempted to lodge a claim only to find that I'm not covered by paypal and not covered by ebay buyer protection....so how exactly is it that I'm protected.  At the moment a seller has my money in his account and he has even re-listed and re-sold the exact item he sold to me and never delivered!  What a farce!  I've been buying and selling on ebay for about 10 years and I've never come across such a ridiculous and unworkable "buyer protection" scheme.....bring on a direct competitor to ebay!

A waste of time, a waste of effort.  Now I'm about $100 down, I don't have my item.....great protection guys.
