Hi all
Some of you probably have seen some of my posts.
I have given away a lot of computer stuff vintage and semi-vintage and
traded a lot. I have trashed a lot lately.
I recent years, I have accumulated way too much computer stuff (mostly
vintage and semi-vintage) in my basement...I can only trade so much and
trades arent really helping with the "space issue"...
I dont wanna junk it and can see most of it can be used...I have paid some
money for most of this...
I have always "boycotted" ebay as both a seller and a buyer...now online
auctions look like the only way to unload quickly the tons of stuff I
have... Ill have to pack and ship but I was ready to give it a
shot....rather then junk tons of working computers...and related equip...
I have now gotten "cold feet" from signing up as a seller on US ebay (with
good reason!) since now they ask for both credit card and complete checking
bank account info!!! (how bout my fingerprints and social security no...?)
Thats way too much info too have "floating around on the net" for me...even
just giving my credit card is "unconfortable" for me...
I can only imagine the ebay seller sign-ups going way down now...I know
there is a lotta fraud on ebay but this is not a good idea for ebay IMO...
I have also heard horror stories like paypal fetching funds from sellers
bank accounts when stuff was undelivered or problems happened...gee...
I could sign up for ebay canada, they only ask for credit card info (weird
hey?) but would not be able to have the stuff listed on the US ebay....I
have to open up a new account and given the bank account info to be on US
ebay....
So anybody with any good alternatives to ebay?
