Tim,
This is why I no longer use PayPal. Too many hoops to jump through, and you
can't expect the other guy to get it right, even if YOU know how it works,
which you apparently do not.
I would also have severe reservations about doing any business with you,
considering the way you flew off the handle without giving any thought to
addressing the situation in a calm and reasonable manner.
Done,
Karl Wolz
