My ebay and paypal experiences have also been quite satisfactory over the 
years.
And I also had one less than pleasant experience on the LUG.

I tend to agree with Mark that
given the number of transactions which occur daily on ebay
it's rather amazing that it works so well.
No doubt the more one plays
and/or the riskier one plays
the chances of an unfortunate experience increases.

I won't play with those who have low feedback scores (below 98.5)
or low transaction numbers (0 - 10; believing that they simply haven't the 
experience - not that they're evil).
Shipping to or from some locations is just plain frustrating.

Of course each and any unfortunate experience that hits us personally just 
feels awful.

Glad it wasn't a huge number Howard.
