A few contacts in a certain Sicilian organisation could probably sort it out.  

In fact, they could probably do a good job of sorting Paypal out too.

ive been thinking about putting a fairly expensive guitar on ebay over the weekend,couldnt quite make up my mind,im thinking i might not bother now.i normally do smallish transactions and this is convincing me to keep it that way.

Problem is, Ebay and Paypal are judge & Jury. Who else can just take money out of your account arbitrarily?

Sell on Ebay but don't offer payment by PayPal?

This is the big problem, send something to a buyer, they receive it and say that they haven't... they register a compliant...  it's open to fraudulant claims through and through....  gotta take this one further..

Best of luck... a precedent needs to be set

Not really any different to outside of ebay/paypal.  The 'business' (sellers on ebay) are normally held accountable.

My brother stopped doing mail order for similar reasons, the banks usually fall on side of consumer (buyer), as thats the way the law falls.  As I write all his EPoS stuff, I have to be aware of the scams, and how the banks deal with disputes, and code in safeguards.
