?Paypal is great and the amout you pay for fees is offset by the increased bidding activity on your items due the the buyer in favour of PayPal. Also most times I get instant payment after the auction ends.
Here are a couple of tips helping to avoid scam. Open seperate checking? account just to manage PayPal and use it just as a vehicle to move the funds around. As soon as the money hits the PayPal account I transfer it. I also have a credit card with a very low floor limit just for online transactions and PayPal.

Dave, I have been using Paay Pal for about 8 years with no problems. When I do bid on items on ebay I look to see if the seller takes Pay Pal because it makes it so much easier to pay for your items. as a buyer I think that it is a great system. I have never sold anything using Pay Pal so I cannot offer any advice there.

To: phono-L at oldcrank.org Date: Tuesday, September 23, 2008, 7:11 AM I never got a Pay Pal account because most ebay sellers would take a check or money order.? Over the years, I have heard of many problems with Pay Pal.? Have those issues been resolved?? Those of you who use Pay Pal, do you like it? Any advice in this matter is appreciated.? I do sell some non-phono related items once in a while on Ebay, but I am not sure it is worth the risk of using Pay Pal.
