I listed a 7970 GPU with a mounted Antec 920 water cooler on eBay with a buy it now for $500. A buyer bought it and then paid for it through the automatic Invoice system. The payment never showed up on my paypal account. The buyer provided a transaction number. I contacted paypal and they said the user sent the funds to the wrong email address. They had left one letter out of the email address. Paypal said the user would have to cancel the payment and resend it. sounds reasonable. The buyer has not been.

But wait, it was done through the automatic invoice system, the user doesn't enter the email address.

Now some how eBay has the item ad refunded by me, so I cannot file a non paying buyer complaint. I'm stuck with a $54 fee for an item that essentially didn't sell. I cannot leave negative or otherwise non positive feedback for the buyer, I cannot contact eBay. I have a long standing (like 12+ years) account on eBay with a rating over 100.

I have never had so much trouble. Ok why do I say they hate Bitcoin. I mentioned I used the GPU for a month to mine Bitcoins. One other auction I had listed was ended early because it referred to bitcoin mining. Since when is it illegal to mine or talk about Bitcoin. I'm not selling Bitcoins on eBay, I just mentioned tangentially something about Bitcoin.

I think it is time to rid myself of paypal and eBay.

You just need to be careful with it. Ebay doesnt hate bitcoin. Paypal ABSOLUTELY!! hates bitcoin...
