I recently sold a brake booster to a guy in Sweden and he used
an old fashioned method of sending me the money--he wired it via Western Union.
This very old payment method is almost never mentioned, yet is a viable way
of completing a transaction. It was easy to collect, as the Western Union office
is in a local grocery store. You get paid in cash, so no concerns about checks
drawn against the First Bank of Kenya.
Sorry, but with ebay's fees on the rise, I don't need to turn
over an additional 4.2% to paypal. Don't understand what the big deal
is in writing a check or obtaining a money order, or even using WU.

hello, Jim that has also been a big frustration
for me too....payPal is the ONLY way to go!
As you state more and more sellers refuse to take
payPal (they use it for their buys) but seem too cheap to take it for their
listings.
I believe they are really missing the
boat!
They claim high cost, but in fact that
stand may by costing them money.....I do not bid if I am unable to use
payPal!
(I even take it and have used it to buy and sell
big ticket cars...)
In this world of scams "N" scum, bidders need the
safety that payPal affords.
If you find payPal costly then account for it in
your pricing it is a cost of doing business, just like taking
visa....
postscript; bidpay was slow!!

Yes, it is BidPay
that recently went out of business, without any warning to their
customers.
Quite troublesome
for me as a foreigner who?s only option besides PayPal was
BidPay.
And since more and
more sellers are no longer accepting PayPal I have to let go of some nice
stuff I see on eBay so every now and then. I hate
that?

I believe it was bid pay that
was owned by WU.

I heard the
story on the news last week, but apparently it's just certain
aspects
of their operation? The news story didn't depict it that
way....

Are you sure? There is no mention of it on their
website, and the
office in my building is still
open.
