Being the fine upstanding Irish (C word) boy that I am, I do hate to use the "gift" to sell, due to the guilt, but on the other hand, it helps me sell things at 3% less to the other fine members of 54. I am more than happy to take a 3% hit on ebay from folks I don't know or trust. I only use the 3% gift rule here (checks, cash and MO always welcome!), because I think it is a nice thing to do amoung card trading buddies.
But back to the point from Tim's post. I am a fan of Paypal as a buyer and a seller. I can buy something on my CC without having to worry about having cash on hand. This lets me sell the stuff to pay for it over a month!!! On the seller side, I have sold some stuff to folks on ebay (like myself) that have limited cash on hand, from time to time, until sales are made to pay. I think it has helped me as a buyer and seller on ebay, and the BST.
Hope all is well and just my opinon,
Bob
