ElliotI understand what you guys are saying regarding PayPal, and I certainly understand why somebody would not want to accept it, BUT as a buyer I "love" using PayPal, for the following reasons:
1) I can immediately make the payment after the auction ends, eliminating one more thing off of my "to do" list.
2) I don't need to bother to write out my address neatly, write a cheque, find an envelope, and make sure I have a stamp for mail to the U.S.
3) As a Canadian, I'm constantly having to go to the bank to replenish my US $ account. With PayPal the conversion happens automatically by my credit card company.
I know that for items under $100, I'm always willing to spend a few bucks more for an item, if the seller takes PayPal.
Also, as a Canadian, i think that all of our addresses our "unconfirmed, so an unconfirmed address, doesn't always have a nefarious conotation.
