It is sad, but it is a case of the payment system ruining an
otherwise well-sorted transaction. PayPal is run on terms that would
be illegal in the UK. You don't know under what terms you are using
the system until you have agreed to use it. I sympathise with the
seller in this case... yes, I know I am boring everyone with my
dislike of PayPal :>).
My tip: use BidPay, cash, electronic transfer or money order.

Sorry for the rant, but to pay $300 for a lens that really isn't worth $200
to a fellow list member who then acts in a thoroughly disreputable manner
has really upset me!
This is sad. Do the rest of you think that this particular person
should be outed? I mean isn't that the price he/she should pay for
behaving in this manner towards another list member? Or, would that
be opening the door to some back-and-forth he said she said?
