I wonder we had the same seller (or perhaps the same seller as IrishgalNJ). After the whole fiasco was over, I wondered whether she sent it broken to get the insurance money. I too used Paypal and my money was refunded with no issue from Paypal. With that said, I tried a second time and from another seller and was happy with my machine.
