As an end user I am happy PayPal treats merchants like crap.

Just think about it: unless you drink the libertarian kool-aid, you know in any given business transaction there's a minimum of 1 (one) sucker. I'd rather the merchant be the sucker.

You should tell that to my friend who routinely tells me about sending 2000 dollars of equipment just to get scammed. It's happened so many times now he barely gets annoyed. Just a cost of doing business, getting scammed and PayPal is complicit.

I hate to burst your bubble but we've never lost a paypal dispute and they have treated us extremely well. Further, I can call them any time and talk with a senior rep relatively easily.

What does being a libertarian have anything to do with a business transaction?
