I maneuver my way through the Paypal phone line to get eBay on the
phone quicker, as I hate waiting to threaten people and blow out their
eardrums when doing so. eBay IS THE BEAST.  I also hammer past the
eBay option and head straight to Paypal dispute at the first whiff of
problem and so far I'm still hangin' but eBay is SO VILE it is now
near impossible. They wills stop at nothing to squeeze a little more
and a little more and a little more. If they had their way, you would
not know where the item is located, and you would not be able to
communicate directly with the seller. They also want to exploit my own
expertise to increase the price I have to pay....
