But Paypal is how most peeps want to pay so I guess I have to keep using them.

I used to have a game called Motor City Online (racing game). When you won a race, you won fake cash in the game that you use to buy/modify cars to win even more races.
Well i had written a program to run the races without me even by my pc! Overnight i could rack up over $1 mil in game cash.
Id then sell it on ebay for about $100 per mil. Some people actually still do it even though the game economy has dropped:
SEE SAMPLE HERE
Anyhow, id make like $400 a day or so doing this! I was really rolling it in for a long time.
One day one of my biggest customers charged back like 12 purchases, totalling like $1,200 or something.
Being that i had no tracking info or proof of delivery, paypal did not protect me and i lost the cash.
To this day i am still negative $750 or something. I refuse to fill the account simply because of principal. I was a respected seller with over 4k transactions and no disputes, yet they still wouldnt protect me ... FUCK THEM!!!
