    Used PayPal for an online purchase one time and had an issue with the seller. Long story short PayPal did not stand behind me during the course of the dispute. Ticked me off so much that I cut up my PayPal card. PayPal claims to stand behind you but in my case they didn't.
    Of course, if you had sent a check to that seller, you would have had no recourse at all - not even a chance at recourse.
