Well I can't appear to condone that

Ask that nice Mr. Del-Boy Trotter, he should be able to sort you out?

(Sorry - in-joke for the UK folks!)

Wow, that's crazy. You're better off paying a U.S. seller through PayPal on eBay.

Whoa whoa whoa, let's not get too hasty. Paypal is an abomination.

that only works if the company isn't in your state. If I order from Apple from anywhere in the country I believe I pay sales tax if that state has sales tax. But if I order from a company like Powermax(which is where I am going to be ordering my Mac Pro and 500GB Time Capsule from, eventually) who is in Oregon, they won't charge tax.

While this is true, many states require you to report out-of-state purchases and remit their fair share annually on 15 April.

And on that cheerful note, I bid you adieu,

Only if you're a seller?

Yeah - Paypal are far too hasty giving people back their money without thorough investigation.

I scored a free PS2 (Paypal funds reinstated) once just because of an unresponsive seller during a pretty trivial dispute - WAYYY too easily. I can't imagine the amount of burned sellers out there furious with the service.
