Red alert words, Western Union, and Paypal. See them both together; run. See Western Union and probably run. See Paypal and understand that dealing with them is the same as selling your soul to Satan.
Ebay makes you use Paypal for most purchases and Paypal reserves the right to enter your account and remove and or freeze your payments at their discretion.
But at least for Paypal you can talk to their Computers or "Howard" in their overseas call center. Yak.
Don't you love progress? Its all about new and improved ways to take your hard earned cash.
