I think people tend to jump conclusions when dealing with personal sellers on forums. I blame it on Amazon prime where everyone expects everything within 2-3 days.

A few issues I've seen with paypal are:
1. Buyers send business transactions as personal to avoid fees. (no buyer protection)
2. Sellers add paypal fees onto the sale (against paypal terms and service)
3. No one gives the seller a reasonable amount of time to send parts or has expectations set. If I sell something, I go to USPS/UPS asap then provide tracking. After that I'm done.
4. On the flip side to #3, sellers sometimes procrastinate shipping the items. If you don't have time to go to the post office, you shouldn't be selling parts out of state.
5. Because of the above and I value my time, I pretty much won't sell anything on forums that require shipping.
