Don't Use Paypal...

I don't use Paypal. I tried it about four years ago and had too many issues with security and too much e-mail spam. Also, I'm not interested in making a third party (eBay) more money on fees or charges. I always ask the seller regardless if they are on the ChipBoard, eBay or their own web site, whether or not they accept money orders, cashiers checks and/or credit cards (not through Paypal). If I meet the seller in person, cash.

Ever since eBay took over Paypal, they have been trying to figure out more ways to squeeze more money out of everything and everyone. You can go ahead and throw out all those cliches about "business is business", "eBay is here to make money", etc., but there comes a time when a threshold is crossed. When the service(s) and/or product(s) that are being offered/sold is not worth the fees/charges/payments anymore... especially when those fees/charges/payments continue to increase and the service(s) and/or product(s) remain the same. That's just my opinion... vbg
