Correct. Sending large sums of cash in an envelope to remote corners of the earth never leaves me with an easy feeling until the money has arrived and the seller tells me so. And while ago I bought some OMD posters from a guy running a reputed OMD fanpage (OMD = Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, a band from the 80s). I sent him the $20 via PayPal, but my posters never got here. After allowing time to see if they still arrive and then all the forth and back with him (he plainly said no to even sharing the loss) I contacted PayPal about it, only to be told that the complaint needs to be filed within four weeks or something. I replied that would be hard for an international user to fulfill and the reply I got then was, between the lines, "tough luck, dude." So Stefan again is right: Where to go if you leave PayPal?
