After years of having no real problems using ebay, I ran into something a little different today.
Last Friday I used "buy it now" on some items(lot of 4 vintage framed pictures) I'd been looking a long time for. Immediately payed with paypal, then wasn't able to check email until today.
The seller had emailed me saying he didn't know how to make paypal work. He had paypal refund my money, and then emailed again asking if I would wire money to him via Western Union since he can't figure paypal out. He also said that he thought it would cost more to safely ship the pictures than what he'd had listed for shipping price in the auction. Then he emailed again saying he doesnt have a printer so he doesn't know how to ship the pictures(print a shipping label).
In the meantime, he's relisted the item, at a higher buy it now price along with a higher shipping price.
I suggested that he find one of those stores that will sell things for people on ebay and have them handle the payment and shipping at the original price, but really think I'm just going to pass on any further dealings, since I suspect he's not smart enough to safely pack and ship glass-framed pictures.
But, just out of curiosity, I know that when paying with paypal using a credit card a person is protected against someone taking your money and not shipping the item or the item showing up damaged, but is there any guarantee like that when using Western Union to wire money?.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
