Doug,I missed the fact that he only accepted Paypal.That was my mistake.
I was very up front with him when I emailed him and I apologized for that mistake.
I explained to him that I would pay cash and have it to him very quickly.
As for eBay "rules" about cash...well...many of my transactions are in cash both ways and there has never been a problem EVER.
I was not asking him to send me cash. He had NOTHING to lose because if my payment does not arrive then he keeps his goods right?
And yes...I live outside of the US so? It's not like I live in Nigeria!
Look....it is his choice. I do not agree with it and I really do not understand it BUT..it is his choice.
It would have been different if I had no feedback or even questionable feedback but...c'mon now.Why have the feedback if you can not be judged on that feedback? When does all of this paranoia and mistrust of people end?
I have been din this business of buying and selling collectibles for many years...way before eBay and have never had a problem with the way I conduct business as a seller or buyer.
You are looking at his side...that's fine. But try looking at it from my side.
