    More important is...can YOU make money without using it.

    PayPal outside of eBay is less of a monster. If you want to sell you need to pander to your potential buyers. That means you really need to give them the option of PayPal.

    OK some people do not like Paypal.
    But all of my sales have been made using it.
    I think its a fantastic service, it has enabled me to send money to India for a very low fee.
    I think you will be doing yourself out of many sales by not offering it.

    I dont offer pay pal any more I have begun to remove it from my listings. I have made a lot of sales using googlecheckout and much prefer that method of payment as to whether or not it makes a difference to my sales I guess its hard to gauge that. I find pay pal a difficult organisation to deal with getting a sensible answer out of them is almost impossible so im afraid i would rather have a trouble free method of payment. at the end of the day its a personal choice but it is possible to make sales without it of that im sure as I have done so

    Just my opinion but I anticipate a lot of folks coming here are from ebay both buyers and sellers and the majority have Pay Pal accounts. Can you make money without Pay Pal? Of course you can. Will it be faster to make money without Pay Pal? I would have to say probably not.

    I find Paypal easier to use than Google where i have to log in to accept the payment which i think is a total waste of time.

    If you set Google to both authorise and charge the card then you do not need to go in to accept the payment.

    Ahmmm I though the same until about a month ago.......then someone did not like an item i sent. I asked for return of the item, it was received and I repaid the buyer...... next day I was "limited" NEXT day, I received a phishing message from a false website telling me how to remove the limitation! IN HOUSE HACKERS? I think yes.
    After that Paypal ignored ALL requests to tell me the reason....fraudulent transactions???? Will not explain my criminals offenses.
    They withheld a small amount just over £100 for something I had sold, after reversing the payment from my account. The buyer even left excellent feedback! I am in the process of bringing them to the Small Claims court. I hope it does not happen to you!

    If you ever find a trouble free method let us know.
    My posts only state my own opinions, unless I've stolen them from someone else
