OT question about paypal and fees

[Archive]

Posted By: Todd

I agree that as a buyer I prefer Paypal for convenience but the lack of that option will not necessarily prevent me from bidding. Using Paypal with a credit card does, however, provide an extra layer of protection should a problem with an unscrupulous seller arise. I was sold stolen tickets once. Whereas eBay and Paypal itself were of little help in getting my money back, the credit card company did take care of it. While I have been extremely happy with almost all of my card purchases and sellers, that always sticks in my mind. I don't know how many other buyers even consider that aspect -- probably not many.
