    That would involve boycotting eBay wouldn't it?

    I'd love to see sellers refuse PayPal en masse, but they'd just end up getting suspended or banned. eBay doesn't appear to care.

    They would when they'd suspended everyone.

    Who'll join my boycott?

    Since the majority of us were using paypal even before it was compulsory I think you are out there on your own for the boycott..except of course being banned so many times I'm not entirely sure they'll actually notice you boycotting them.

    Well they're not entirely free as you have to post them and buy an envelope. As a buyer, it's the exra waiting time and as a seller, it's that spaecial trip you have to make to the bank, watching and waiting for it to clear.....also remembering you have even got it.....there is no button in My Ebay which states, received cheque, banked cheque or cheque cleared....now when you are selling a lot of stuff it's very hard to keep track.

    Well....so far she hasn't contacted me about my payment.

    I'm dreading receiving the item, I could, and will, kick myself!
