pay pal is sus, I wouldn't use it for much $ unless your prepared to have them freeze the assets and basically steal your money. They are not an escrow service and they are not a bank and don't have any laws to adhere to... just do some quick googling to see how many people have been screwed over.

Aaron is definately not dodgy, i speak from
personal experiance from my dealings with him and
his services.

Ive always used direct deposits straight into his account.

Rampant - Import monster +1 for me

+1 Aaron @ Import MOnster/Rampant is well reputable. I have bought a number of products through him. It seems that paypal itself has shit itself. Maybe email both parties and touch base to avoid any stuff around in future.

Yep i have some blingers for the taxi on the way over now. Very easy to deal with. If there's an issue, Aaron will sort it out.

Agree. I had 2k US frozen by them for a week whilst working in the US, along with them informing the person I was transacting a purchase with off of Ebay that I was "fraudulent". I ended up having to take time off from the project I was working on in north west Colorado, drive all the way back to my place in Wyoming 8hrs away just so I could send them documentary proof I was who I "claimed" to be.

They never could understand that I was pissed that they refused to put my money back in my account when they initially froze it. I'd already jumped through all of their fucking hoops to prove who I was before I transferred the money. Wankers. Wouldn't touch Paypal again with a barge pole.
