PayPal and Ebay are in business to maximize their profits and close off all loopholes that might cause losses. Never forget. They are not nice guys out to help us buy neat stuff at a bargain. So any refusals one encounters are simply PayPal protecting itself, without regard to user convenience. I envision a time when PayPal and Ebay become so onerous and expensive to use that they destroy their original core business - individuals buying and selling their own stuff. It's happening somewhat now - the number of bargains from individual sellers is way down compared to just 18 months ago. Most of Ebay photo is overrun with full-time businesses hawking retail merchandize, much of which can be purchased online or in local retail stores for about the same as the Ebay price. I am heartily enjoying my Ebay-free and PayPal-free lifestyle. I actually wish I had abandoned both of them a couple of years sooner. When I think of all the hours spent on Ebay, not to mention the dollars, that could have been spent with my wife or even the dang dog, I think I must have been addicted, or somehow in a PayBay-crazed fugue. -- Cactus Jack Warm and Dry in the Valley of the Sun www.photolin.com www.photolin.com/payanon/payanon.htm No More Pay, Pal © 2004 John Mustarde Don't Ebay, pal, No more Pay, pal, Hey Hey-ah, Good Bye.
