Just a note to the "new" sellers and some interested buyers. If someone emails you and says for instance, "Someone hacked my Paypal account and I am sorry the payment is late, my account is on hold, can I pay you with my boyfriend's account?"

SAY NO!!!!!!!

If you accept the payment You WILL NOT be covered through the paypal seller protection program. Even if it is sent to their confirmed address for both accounts, there is still no protection offered because it is considered a 3rd party payment.

Seller's Beware!!!

Also - if the payment is already late, or looking to be that way, what's a few more days and opt for a Money Order, Cashier's Check, or even a Personal Check with proper time to allow it to clear.

Happy Ebaying!!!!!!!!!
