I have bought a couple of things from sellers out of the country on ebay and i offered to pay by paypal and leave positive feedback before they even shipped. No one has ever refused that and I have not gotten burned. It's always worth asking, imho.

GreyM wrote:I've gotta second Blackmoor's thoughts...as a frequent buyer and seller on this board (and about 10 others), I wouldn't even think about closing my paypal account. Its by far one of the easiest ways to accept payments and/or send payments. Sure the actual seller pays for the "ease of use", but until they start taking a healthier %, I'll be using it.As always, this is just my 2 cents
xraygord wrote:Yeah, but thats what Paypal wants you to think. There are different wys to pay for things online. I use Interac Online, takes money directly from my bank account. Trust me, if Paypal was never invented, all you guys and gals would still be wheeling and dealing just like you are today.
