read this page https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... quirements to gain a better understanding as to why some sellers choose PayPal only due to built-in protections for both buyer and seller.

Then I would say it is no sale.

My relationship with PayPal goes back quite a few years. I recently had a situation where I was printing a mailing label and an incorrect address was printed on the label. Not my error and not the buyers error, it was some sort system error at PayPal or the Ship Station they force on a seller in order to print a paid label. They refused to accept that the error was theirs and they refused to reimburse me for the cost of the incorrect label. The buyer and I worked it out and I went back to PayPal and leaned on them some to finally get a refund that they described as a one time refund.
The final result is that I have fallen out of love with PayPal because of the difficulty I had in getting the refund for their error and their 'one time thing' attitude. After all, it was THEIR ERROR, not mine and not the buyer's error.
So that's my story and I'm stickin' to it and if you print labels there, be sure to check and verify addresses.
