Jim -
Since ebay is one of our main sources for FL parts, I feel
that a limited discussion about buying and selling in ebay is on-topic, although
if it starts to stray, I'm sure Dave will step in.
I've had overseas buyers come up with creative ways to pay for
items that I've sold on ebay, including sending cash in a registered letter,
offering to cover the paypal fees for me (which I will accept, although I can't
state that in the auction according to ebay rules) and as stated previously,
wiring money via Western Union. Maybe having a good feedback rating works in my
favor ?
I guess if someone wants something badly enough, they will
come up with a way to work around the 'no paypal' restriction.

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.

Ebay
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.
