I've been buying and selling on this site and ebay for several years, and have have used Paypal for most of my transactions, whether buying or selling. Even though there is a cost when selling. Why is it alot of sellers refuse to use Paypal? As far as I'm concerned, I'll pay the fee to the seller, so he doesn't lose the few bucks that Paypal charges if I really want the item. Paypal has saved my ass several times when I've dealt with theives that have no intention of shipping the item after you pay, or when they grossly misrepresent an item. I recently found a set of wheels here, and agreed to pay the seller the asking price, but didn't buy them, because he wanted a money order before shipping.....screw that. I'm a very trusting person, and have lost money many times because of it. I've learned my lesson with that approach....several times. Unless I am able to make the deal in person, and pay cash, or know the person I'm dealing with, Paypal is the only option. Tell me a better way to complete a transaction....buying or selling...without risk. While there are some really lowlife scam bastards out there dealing, and trying to scam you, most of the guys on this site are honest and fair.
