Ron,
For me as a potential buyer, using PayPal makes it VERY
easy to buy things over eBay. When I’ve bought something, I instantly pay
using PayPal.
As a seller, using PayPal enlarges your selling
possibilities, because more potential buyers are competing each other,
resulting in a higher price, higher profit.
As a buyer, I neglect the auctions that do not accept
PayPal. With the acception of BidPay, when it was still in business.
Western Union
is too much hassle for me, and there are no guarantees, like the protection
program with PayPal.
But of course this is all off topic…
Jim.

I recently sold a brake
booster to a guy in Sweden and he used an old fashioned method of sending me
the money--he wired it via Western Union. This very old payment method is
almost never mentioned, yet is a viable way of completing a transaction. It was
easy to collect, as the Western Union office is in a local grocery store. You
get paid in cash, so no concerns about checks drawn against the First Bank of
Kenya.
Sorry, but with ebay's
fees on the rise, I don't need to turn over an additional 4.2% to paypal. Don't
understand what the big deal is in writing a check or obtaining a
money order, or even using WU.
