I agree that the spirit shouldn't change.
But with hindsight some fairly simple procedures might have prevented one person "selling" multiple items several times over to different people. It seems to be the fact it was all done via pm with nobody aware that they were the 2nd, 3rd, 4th?? person to pay for the same item.

Gee, really? I wonder how many times an attitude like that leads to becoming a cuckold? Not all of us are so cool & casual about being screwed over ****CENSORED****

Based on my own experiences PayPal may protect buyers, but leaves sellers very vulnerable to fraud.

Sorry to hear that. Did you follow good practice? https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/paypal-safety-and-security
As long as a seller accurately describes the item, takes photos, posts with proof/tracking/insurance when appropriate, post to paypal registered address etc , it should be very hard to defraud. However if still concerned or have ethical/other issues with paypal then payment on collection would be be a better option.

I'm not sure how feasible it would be... Over to you Martin... But would it be possible to have a Def2 account... So when items are sold, The money is paid to Def2, On receipt of the item the funds are released...
I understand that there maybe issues with items that are not as described... But it would pretty much stop any fraud on here dead in it's tracks...Martin could levy a small charge to cover bank costs/time/Def2 support

Just a thought

Regards

Tim It doesn't matter how bad it is, It can always get worse...

To be fair to Martin he has enough on his hands running this excellent forum without also having to become the forums bank clerk Whistle

Martin has already done more than most forum owners/moderators already, and I suspect he's peeved off enough to carry us all through to any solution which works - our job is to help him figure out what's the solution, if there is one. ****CENSORED****
