Shortly after the 02 Con, I bought a Mint in Bag Crimson Strike Team set from a guy in the USA. I paid by PayPal. I never got my item. (he said he was sending expresspost) After 3 weeks (before the 30 day deadline) I contacted PayPal to have the charges reversed as they seller was not responding to my emails questioning where my set was. After much difficulty getting an answer out of Paypal, they basically told me "too bad so sad" because it was an "international transaction" and they don't/can't track "international transactions"
So, I was out the $200 US plus Paypal fees.
So, I tried to close my account. Do you know how HARD it is to have them close you account? My goodness, I've done server migrations with less headaches!
I will never EVER deal with them again.
