Newish eBay/PayPal Rule -- made me be done with both of them (longish)

No, I’m disagreeing with stupid shit that has no basis in reality. That you wrote it is incidental.

Just curious. How would Ebay/Paypal handle a dispute where it was simply one parties word against another?

For example, you buy a $200 electronic device from me and I send you an empty box. You dispute the transaction with Paypal and want your money back saying that the box was empty. I swear on a stack of holy books that I sent you the electronic device. Who does Paypal side with?

It seems that nearly every poster in this thread agrees with me, except for you. I really don’t even understand why you’re continuing to debate. You’re not going to change my mind, especially not with your sniveling tone. You’re not going to get me to keep my PayPal account and continue using eBay. So why bother?

I don’t want to feel like I have to read the fine print every time I make an online transaction. If you’re one of those types, then more power to you.

Frankly, you’re coming off just like every other asshole who likes throws fine print in someone’s face when they’re blind-sided by something that really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense on its face. It doesn’t help anyone or anything.

Did you read my post? I think you are as much of an impatient and entitled jackass as R_W does.

because you started this thread looking for validation of your asinine position. i am the anti-validator in this respect.

Except it has been demonstrated to make a lot of sense on its face - you’re the one who is mistaken in that regard.
But if you are at a level of critical analysis and reading comprehension that leads you to the conclusion that “nearly every poster in this thread agrees with me, except for you” well then I can see where you’re coming from.

Yeah, but your opinion doesn’t count. For anything.

Right, but when you perceive that someone agrees with you, it’s suddenly validation that backs up your “argument”.

Where did I say this?

Nope, it has nothing to do with that. You’re just a low-life whose opinion means jack-squat. Now, go kick your dog.

Well then, please educate me as to why you posted your trite life-experience.

Huh? What makes you think I would do that? (if I had a dog)

Because it’s a rant. On a message board.

Oh wait, there’s no possible way I could educate you. Please don’t be foolish; you’re way ahead of the game already, with your firm grasp on reality and such.

and what is the point of a rant to an audience if you really don’t expect some validation?

you may as well have written the thing in Notepad and then closed without saving if you really didn’t want any response. but you did.

It’s simple logic. The fact that you don’t have a dog proves that you hate dogs, so if you had one, you would surely kick it. Kyoo, ee, dee.

But only if you have to wait 3 days before kicking it.

Perhaps I was simply pontificating on the trials and tribulations of the seldom eBay seller for my own regard. To you, does all public pontification require validation?

Perhaps I just felt like posting the OP because I was angry and wanted to vent at you instead of my wife, because I was mightily pissed.

If this thread dropped to the bottom without a response, I really don’t think I could have cared any less. But it did feel good typing it and I felt better immediately afterward, which is really the point anyway.

funny you use the word “pontificate”. it pretty much fits your poorly analyzed blatherings to a Tee:

1 a : to officiate as a pontiff b : to celebrate pontifical mass
2 : to speak or express opinions in a pompous or dogmatic way

Holy crap, now that’s funny, tying the dog bit into the new Paypal rule. Clever as fuck, bro.

Why is it funny?

look up the words “dogmatic” and “pompous”
