I like eBay, I've found a lot of good stuff there. But I won't use PayPal, see no reason to. IMO, the transaction is between the buyer and the seller, there's no damn reason to involve a third party to "handle the funds", that's just bullshit. To me that's like buying something from one of you guys in a WalMart parking lot, but giving my money to some stranger walking by to count it and hand it over to you, and then paying him a percentage to do so. That's fucked up.

I'll always contact the seller first to see if he'll take a USPS money order, and most will. If not, then he won't be selling it to me. Several times I've found sellers that have lots of stuff and a storefront business, I just contact them and deal with them directly, cutting eBay right out of the picture.
