I have been buying and selling on Ebay for 8 years and have done 4 or 5 thousand transactions. I have had 2 or 3 small problems but never for more that a few dollars. When I started using Paypal, it was free and they even gave you $5 for signing up. I have never had a problem with a Payapl deal. I also find that I get more/higher bids by accepting Paypal. The buyers like the convience of being able to pay without the hassle of going to the post office. I like the fact that I can be paid within a few minutes of the auction ending. As for the fees, I find that the higher bids I usually get because of accepting Paypal make up for the fees I have to pay. Also by accepting Paypal, I don't have to run to the bank every time I get paid for an auction. I live in the sticks so it is about a 45 minute trip to the bank and back for me. As someone said earlier, "time is money."
