    I just got my eBay account hacked, and used to buy a PS4. The guy bought it, used my Paypal to the tune of £500(as was linked to my eBay account) and collected it within 20 minutes. I only noticed an hour later when i checked my emails. I got onto eBay reported it all, and received the cash back within 24 hours. Have since upgraded all my computer security. Just be careful of buyers on eBay that want to pay by Paypal and collect things immediately as they may be thieves spending someone else's cash!! Not sure how this has effected the seller of the item!

    Since a PayPal seller MUST ship by track able means, the incidence of people letting a collection take place should be well known by now to be a scam.
  • The problem with using PayPal to sell is that buyers can easily chargeback and win the dispute with little to no evidence. It's happened to me before.
