Agreed. Also, a forum owner should do as they please. If the users don't like it, they do not have to be there.
Although, I think compromises can always be made if people are willing to listen to each other...I probably wouldn't want to hang on a forum run by Hitler though...Not much compromise going on there...

It's not my deal and the forum isn't liable for anything. Caveat emptor and have fun!!

Kinda agree. If something goes bad on a forum, the forum owner should do everything in their power to right the situation. As much as I think Houdini sucks monkey balls, dude does police Blowout like a true detective. Although, I felt as if he was baiting me like a user/troll, and not being professional like a moderator should be.

Concerns I have about PP Friends...

- It is definitely unethical to escape those fees, knowing goods were bought and sold. Hey do it if you please, I eat cheddar popcorn and watch cat porn on Friday nights. Wait, today is Friday!!! Meooooow....

- No protection between the parties involved.

- Most important to me. If someone pays friends and family, I can't print a shipping label from PayPal. (Just found this out yesterday.) I ain't trying to write something out and have to stand in line to ship. hahah

Solution- Don't take it. Man, wish they were all that easy. Now for all of the other members that want to use it, they can. No forum rules broken. Paypal is a very profitable company and I am guessing they probably know a few folks use it for goods...and my guess is they still make way more money than not offering it. To each their own on this forum. I have always felt the fewer rules the better. I was told we are strict around here, yesterday. It concerned having a name by a post that was accusatorial. Yes, on that and a few other things, we are quite strict. Dictating how you do your business or collecting, not so much. Again, not griping about any other venue doing what they want to. Each should do the best they can for their members, imo. And of course no two businesses or forums are run the same. Each has imperfections as nothing is perfect. (except my wife)

You didn't solve anything. I don't know if there was anything to really solve. hahah

Hopefully you didn't think I was telling people not to use it. Hopefully we all agree that it is unethical if used to pay for goods and services.

Stealing from the rich or poor is unacceptable.

I am for being held accountable...

Not sure I like this statement. I get stay out of peoples business, but I hope if a deal goes bad on your forum, that you are going to step in and do something to remedy the situation...You stepped in on an off color joke, I hope you would also step in on a deal gone bad...(Politely said, in case that didn't translate well via text talk hahaha)

You will be held accountable on this board, trust me, just like every other member. Also, please put your full name in your sig line and it needs to remain there as long as you are on this forum. Thanks....

btw, if a deal goes bad on this board yes, I do get involved as much as possible to help. Otherwise, my goal is to say out of our board members business.

I am not going to add my name to my signature. I am using my signature for trade links and stuff like that...

As long as you don't say anything that needs your full name, all is good.

My take on ff vs g&s. It is money. Money is used to pay for things. If I send my brother 400 bucks, likely it is ultimately to pay for something. My view is the fees are to cover the buyer in the event of dispute. Aka insurance. If I elect to take a leap of faith and assume that risk, then I can pay ff. If I get screwed, then tough *hit. May not be the rules of PayPal, but I believe it’s the intent.

Let’s assume my brother, myself and Leon are at a card show. I have no cash. My brother pays Leon 500 bucks in cash for a card. So now according to the t&s of PayPal I can pay my family 500 bucks without fees. What difference does “who” I pay matter. My 500 bucks paid for a card in this scenario, regardless of the recipient. So IMO, if I can stomach the risk(which I do occasionally) I pat via ff. If not I pay goods for the insurance. My .02
