Postal money order?

did he use friends and family payment or the buying goods way with paypal?
I'm not familiar with that nomenclature. This was about 10 yrs ago. This coworker of mine was buying baseball cards. He purchased over ebay, I believe, via PP, a particular card for a couple hundred dollars. He waited to receive the card, but when it hadn't arrived, he called the seller, and the seller said he mailed it out, Then the seller said he had mailed it to the wrong address, and it had been returned undeliverable, so he'd resend it. Well, this went on and on until the time limit expired for PayPal intervention. And when PayPal was finally notified of the problem, their policy was nothing could be done.
