Remember when you used to get along in the world without it? Now everyone seems to think that it is the only way to fly.
eBay makes you use Paypal? Well, It will take time take it from one who still uses eBay and not Paypal:communicate with the seller and ask for other options. So far I have been turned down one time only in the past few months with this request to a seller, and that was only because I came from the forbidden country of Canada and had nothing to with the fact that I requested another form of payment.
Sellers are starting to wise up to all of the fees on eBay/Paypal and I am sure that they will get wiser.....eventually
