PAY PAL ON LINE AUCTION PAY PAL ARE FOR THE SELLER NOT BUYER Internet nationwide

I purchased a computer from an individual on Ebay that did not work. I contacted the seller and he told me that it was not broken when he sent it. So, I filed a claim with Ebay and was told to file a claim with Pay Pal since that is how I paid for it. Pay Pal told me to take the computer to a repairman and find out what was wrong with it and how much it was going to cost to repair it. They wanted a lot of information from a certified repairman. I called several repairmen and they wanted $85.00 to check the computer out. I paid $125.00 for the computer and I did not have another $85.00 to pay a repairman.

They only gave me 7 days to get it checked out. So, I ended up loosing $125. It seems that Pay Pal is out to protect the seller rather than the buyer. I do not use Pay Pal nor do I bid on Ebay anymore. I want people to know that if you buy from an individual on Ebay merchandise that does not work, you loose your money because Pay Pal and Ebay are big rip-off when purchasing from individuals.
