Rich WI have heard the horror stories with Paypal and have had 2 instances where the buyer claimed that they never received the goods and I had no recourse (Paypal deducted the amount from my account and gave it back to the buyers). In both cases, the goods were uninsured and there was no postal tracking. I force insurance on orders over $100.00 and I will put on tracking for a potentially suspect customer.
And yes, Paypal is pricy, especially if shipping outside the USA. However, this past week, I had 170 auctions end on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. All but 25 of the auctions had been paid by Saturday morning, and of the 25 left, 20 were represented by 3 different buyers whose checks will be in the mail this week. I'm not thrilled with the end-of-the-month Paypal bill, but I believe it is worth it.
