Paypal SUCKS. It really does. Please, never lose sight of the simple fact that despite the glossy ads, Paypal has big drawbacks for larger transactions.
If you pay for goods that cost between £100 and £30,000 on a credit card, then the credit card company has to honour all your consumer rights if the retailler goes bust or simply ignores you.
With Paypal, you often lose your right to hold a Credit Card compant jointly liable. Its a big, BIG benefit to small retaillers and that's one reason they LOVE Paypal.
You clearly don't know how to use quotation marks.

totally agreed, had utter stupid returns in the past like:
"this a4 picture looked bigger in the photo' - erm, A4 is A4 is A4.
"This video doesn't play properly on my VHS player" - that's because you're in America and Need a player with PAL playback, as explained int he 4 lines of red text in the description
"It doesn't fit in my CD Player' - That's because it's a record.
"This T-shirt is too small" - did you read the description, and the measurements, the advice to check against an existing shirt as manufacturer definitions of sizes vary dramatically?
"The plug supplied doesn't fit my wall socket" - That's because you bought from a UK seller, with UK spec, but you wall socket is in Missouri & your plug sockets are still at Victorian standards.
"There's only on song on this CD, I thought it was an album" - Yes, that's why it was listed as a '1 Track CD'
"This Video has a music video on it, I expected a film trilogy" - Yes, it was listed as a 1 track video by the band 3 Colours Red. It is in no way related to the the film Trilogy '3 Colours Red / Blue / Green" nor did it claim to be, or even mention the sequels colours.
Every one of these are genuine 'reasons' for return given buyers who don't/won't read descriptions & expect the sellers to foot the bill of return postage, fees & lose the initial postage costs.

Nice rant. Apart from the fact that returns are a part of selling online, if you dont like it then don't sell online.

Regardless, it can't go into Freebies because y'know, you actually have to have purchased something to take advantage of this :stuck_out_tongue:

It's not deal as it's been part of PayPal T&Cs since April 2016. Since when have terms and conditions been a "deal"?
