I sell stuff on eBay and have sold stuff to many on this list.

PayPal doesn't work for me. Closing my warehouse put me deeply in debt and as
a result I don't have and can't get a checking account. PayPal will send me a
check but then I have to use a check cashing service which costs me 10%.

I have been requesting USPS and Western Union money orders because they are
the only instruments that do not cost me a percentage to cash.

I have recently had my international and national customers use a service
called BidPay (www.bidpay.com). They pay by credit card and BidPay sends me a
Western Union money order.

Recently Fred Meyer, who is a Western Union agent, has set up a policy of not
cashing money orders that come from more than one hundred miles away. I am
contesting this with Western Union and Fred Meyer. My alternative is to go
back to my check cashing service which charges 10% to cash money orders.

I am considering having to further restrict payment to just USPS money orders
because of some of these restrictive policies.

I am writing this to show there are many reasons why there are restrictions
on payments. I am a good finder of equipment.

The Ebay feedback rating system is very important. My feedback is 98 at the
moment and is full of excellent comments. Check the feedback. If the person
has a long run of good feedback the risk goes way down.

Ask questions. A good seller doesn't mind answering.

If you don't have credit it is tough to do business in this world.

I am planning on selling a more S100 cards and DEC cards in the near future.
Keep an eye on my seller's name "Innfosale."

I love the list. It is always interesting.
