    What in the actual fuck?

    That's sad. As a guitar collector I appreciate what an instrument of that age means. It is a piece of history that's now gone.

    Yep, that's pretty tragic. Paypal is sonofabitch for telling that dude to destroy it and the dude is an idiotic moron for listening to them.

    Google wallet and Amazon payments, but they're ghost towns.

    I have an Amazon payments account, but its hard getting clients to use it. Everyone wants to use Paypal.

    If every retailer started supporting something else, I'd use it.

    That wrecked violin is like seeing a child massacred. Heartbreaking.

    I've been saying for a while now, if someone with serious cash came up with a competitor to Paypal that had better systems, a faster site and much much better customer service...............BOOM!

    That's the problem, it's not that Paypal is better than everyone else, but that everyone else uses Paypal.

    Could he not have just sent paypal a picture of an already destroyed violin, get his $2500 back, and send the seller the violin back?

    Nope, that's just the point. Paypal sometimes REQUIRES you to show proof you destroyed a "counterfeit" or any kind of fake item before they refund you.

    They do this to stop circulation, or further issues with that fake product.

    The problem is the buyer was a retard and the violin WASN'T fake.

    I can't believe he was enough of a douchebag to actually destroy it.

    PayPal sucks. I just had someone's credit card decide to reverse the charge from oct 2nd. Person has had their stuff for months and I'm out $250. This seems to be the new thing happening so I'm not sure if it's a scam. Thankfully, most of the time when people try to scam a free order by getting the goods and then filing a claim, PayPal sides with me but this is the 3rd or 4th "credit card" chargeback I've gotten. Each has been from purchases months ago that I can prove were delivered.

    This violin situation doesn't surprise me and it's really sad.

    Clover's a paypal alternative that pays you $5 to sign up. Let's make it rain.
