I attended a nice card show at Pechanga Casino in Temecula CA last week end. I came across a decent 54 Aaron at a good price that I decided to buy. The dealer and I came to an agreement, and I whipped out my credit card to buy it. No sir, he didn't take credit cards or PayPal. It was either cash, Venmo, Zeille, or a couple of other methods that I'm not familiar with. Not having that much cash, I went to the casino to draw on my credit card - they wanted 7.5% of the total to do the transaction. Needless to say, it didn't work out. My message - be prepared for paying using the latest technology.
Side note: Rene and Casey Nezhoda from "Storage Wars" were there buying cards. He wasn't selling anything. He sat behind a glass display case filled with 100 dollar bills and bought cards all day long! He must have done well, because there was a constant line at his table. I chatted with him and asked if he collected cards, he said but - he would buy anything he can make a dollar from. He and his wife were very nice.
