The above problems were all payment-related concerning Paypal. I also had a major problem with eBay - valuable property was stolen from me here in Belize and taken to the USA, where it was put up for sale on eBay. I'm talking about $50k's worth. When I found out about the auctions I contacted eBay, and they refused to cancel or suspend the auctions unless I could quote a US police case number to them. Obviously I couldn't as the crime took place in Belize, and the sales went ahead.
eBay and Paypal are of course the same organisation, and I regard it as deeply untrustworthy. Were they British based I would have had grounds to have them prosecuted.
