Also unfortunately CC-backed PayPal purchases are quickly becoming a favorite method that scammers use to rip sellers off by getting their money back and absconding with the merchandise, especially now that merchant processors and vendors who take straight credit cards for online transactions are putting in tighter controls to help fight fraud.
Yeah, I guess it does. My account shows a pending charge. He sent me a screenshot of his paypal and it has not hit his account. I hate flipping paypal. I really appreciate the info. I am going to cut the guy some slack.
