I'm working with a seller on eBay on a Buy It Now, and he requests that I pay using an eCheck via PayPal. I've paid using a bank draft on PayPal before, and it appears this is pretty much the same thing except there's a 4- to 5-day delay until the money clears (whereas a bank draft is quicker). The seller requests an eCheck because his fee will be less (a flat $5), which I understand. Has anyone here used eCheck on PayPal who can give any input as to why it would be a bad idea?

Thanks, Rob
