Need to get my rimblow or my cash back

I thought pay pal was supposed to protect the buyer from getting shafted? So what do they do for their cut? I always just talk to the buyer/seller, then mail them a check if I feel comfortable with them. Then at least I have their address! Never had a prob doing it this a way.

They will back you of your paying for goods or services. If you send it "friends and family" what is there to dispute? You changed your mind??
