Bought a t201 from a seller who had a BIN price. He took my offer I made by asking a "question" ; he ended the auction and I paid him thru Paypal - outside of eBay. Thought it strange but I'll take the card...I hope...delivery pending..I hope...

lol you can pay how ever the seller wants, most times they give you options.
Check, paypal, upckup only (cash), CC, just depends. Read the seller pay options

Maybe, but I believe the rules say you must take some form of online payment as an option. I don't think you can say, per the rules (I know some still do but it's outside of the rules) that you only take a check or money order as a seller on ebay.

In my hundreds of dealings with Ebay sellers, I've always paid by money order and the very occasional check. Never once, have I paid with Paypal. In my experience, maybe two dozen out of every 25 dealers accept a non electronic form of payment, though it should be asked of the seller, before bidding, if he does so, as they very often will not state that to be the case, on the item page.

I got into it w/ ebay recently and was pointed to several rules. Basically, everything Leon is saying is 100% accurate and exact and Ive also had experiences similar to Howard. The mandated pp idea is 100% false.

That seems very expensive and wasteful considering $1.00 per money order, a 45 cent stamp, and the time involved buying and filling out the money order.
