Exactly, paypal and credit cards both, I'm pretty sure, when the buyer says
they didn't get what they contracted for, paypal or the credit company
cancel the sale first, and ask questions later, ...or rather, the merchant
that didn't get their money .....it's up to them to prove that they did
indeed deliver as promised.
Paypal is an eBay entity, btw.
