The dollar amount isn't going to make me think again about paypal being a saint, they are just like banks, they're not in it for charity. I never said that making money is un-american, so don't even try to tack that to my name. I've had lot's of good luck with pay-pal, it's easy, the money usually comes in a few days and if I dispute a item, then I have someone who will get my back. But the fees for bolth ebay and paypal have been going up and up over the years. They hit you to list it, to sell it & to collect the cash(depending on total value). So they get 3 ways everytime, unless you opt to use other means to collect monies owed to you. I still use them, but look at the two services eating up you final sale amount, over time that little bit here and there adds up to quite a bit.
