over the past two years -- I've made the payment & the seller either put an incorrect or old e-mail address in their
listing. Make sure to check with PayPal & make sure to look at the seller's feedback to make certain their account wasn't hijacked (easy to tell as they get a lot of negative feedbacks all at once). Also -- make sure that all of your correspondence goes through
and/or PayPal, not to the seller directly.
