Yes, but I don't send cheques either, I use Paypal for both buying and selling so the 3rd party need never know my bank details !:hello: Laugh and smile everyday, it keeps you healthy ! :wave:Thanks for everybodies help on here, what a great community !0

Thank you everyone for all of your help, I have now managed to set up a second account (it does seem strange being classed as a newbie again!).
With regards to Paypal, I prefer it because it allows me to pay for my wins as soon as the auction closes and then, more often than not, I receive my items in a matter of days.
I do not often sell items on ebay, but every buyer that I have had has paid with Paypal rather than the other options that I take (cheque/P.O) and I have therefore been able to post items to them straight away, meaning happy campers all round.

Its not dangerous.
PAYPAL is very useful, but I just refuse to pay eBay even more money in fees. (eBay own PAYPAL)
You get no fees by using a bank transfer.0
