If you're selling a coin that dozens or several people may be bidding on, well, you're unwise to limit your potentital customers by not giving paypal as a payment option. IMHO of course. Conversely, unless the seller is offering a coin that I have sought for years, I will generally bypass the no-PayPal auction. I need a real incentive to stand in line behind people who are practicing their Conversational English at the post office to buy a money order. I think we're in agreement. If you don't offer paypal as a payment option, you reduce your bids. I'd rather pay that way than take time off work to go to the post office. Even in a small town with a motivated postmaster and no lines, hours of operation vs. my hours of "I need to be at work" motivate me to avoid non-paypal sellers. |

In Florida, the cash advance places advertise no fee for money orders, but I've never been in one. I don't know what the process is. The post office would be my last choice for the purchase of a money order. -- Tony Cooper Orlando, FL |

However, I've been a little confused as to how to enact Paypal as a means to accept payment for auctions, so I have procrastinated. Is it a simple process to activate? Dead simple. You get a debit card, so you can use the card to pay for purchases. You can use the card to pay for anything since it's like any other Master Card except that it is limited to your balance in PayPal. I'm allowing the balance to accumulate because I'll use it to pay for Christmas presents. It can be used anywhere a Master Card is accepted. You can also earn interest on the balance and earn rebates on what you charge with the card. Considering the interest and the rebates, you can offset the fees you pay for accepting PayPal. Of course you can also request amounts paid into your PayPal account transferred to your checking account. Are there several options to be aware of? Yep. Check off money market and cash back. Now, my PayPal payments are simply deducted from my checking account. If I sign up to accept PayPal payments, would they automatically be deposited in that same account? Nope. You have to request disbursement or use the credit card. There's a limit on disbursement amounts, but you can sweep the account frequently. Next, I'll be learning to use a cell phone. You're comfy with a pocket calculator? No abacus? -- Tony Cooper Orlando, FL |

Next, I'll be learning to use a cell phone. You're comfy with a pocket calculator? No abacus? I don't like to calculate more than I can handle on my fingers. And then I can't have my hands in my pocket if I want to see my fingers. I think I had an abacus on my crib, but I never understood what it could do for me. My bad. Bruce |
