Are you implying that Paypal gives out your credit card information to
sellers?  I'd assume they just send them a payment and that they keep your
credit card information secure, so that you might just get stung on the
one item.  Credit cards of course offer the option of contesting the
charge with the credit card company, as checks or money orders do
not.  Neil has said Paypal won't stand behind customers who receive
something, but not what they ordered.  Neil, do you have information about
what happens when customers ask the credit card company to intervene in
such cases?
