I ran a business making kits and used PayPal with no issues (probably over 100 transactions). Even used PayPal credit to purchase a IC-9700, with no issues. I have an excellent credit rating. If you want to check someone's transaction quality, E-Bay collects buyer/seller ratings. Mine is

I used an online question site for my Extra Class study years ago and this site showed which questions I missed. I used my Handbook and Antenna book to study up on the questions I missed or was unsure of. Without them I would still be guessing and not know a darn thing. Two best investments I ever

The Antenna Book is really good. I find antenna design and experimentation one of the more interesting/fun aspects of ham radio and have gotten many of ARRL's (RSGB, etc) other antenna books over the years: Antenna Compendium 1-8, various Antenna Classics, stealth antennas, HF Antennas for All

I'd like to offer the "correct" info about tax reporting. I am a professional tax preparer and make my living understanding the correct nuances of the US tax code. I also have an eBay store, so I have used PayPal for many years. I prefer it for my own purchases and for those who buy my product.
