Not accepting Paypal isn't necessarily a sign of a problem in my opinion. Many small time sellers simply cannot risk a Paypal chargeback or they way they can arbitrarily freeze accounts.
Years ago I got hit with an $1,100 chargeback from a comic book I sold on ebay. 45 days after I shipped the item and the buyer left positive feedback, he claimed "someone unauthorized used my account" and Paypal said I owed the $1,100 back. Even though I had delivery confirmation and positive feedback from the buyer, Paypal sided with the buyer and I was hit with the chargeback. Still makes me angry when I think about it. ![]() And my story is not an isolated incident. So, I don't blame people for not wanting to deal with Paypal. Because they are not a true bank, they skirt many of the consumer protection standards you get with accepting or using a real bank card.

These days, the money from a personal or bank check is deposited in your account right away, so there's little risk with them. In the past, it could take a while for deposit so I guess I could understand that. Sounds as if he may be an old school type of guy. It may be that he's been burned with other forms of payment. We hear of Americans complaining about problems selling to Canada. Maybe the problems work both ways.

Been some time since I lived in Canada, but there used to be a fee for cashing checks from USA.

Gibsons fire claims repair shop, hostel Last Updated: Friday, June 4, 2010 | 8:07 PM PT CBC News ![]() Two buildings were destroyed by a Friday afternoon fire in Gibsons.Two buildings were destroyed by a Friday afternoon fire in Gibsons. (CBC) A fire has destroyed two buildings on the waterfront of Gibsons, B.C. The fire started at about 3:30 p.m. PT Friday in the 500-Block of Marine Drive, a few hundred metres from the town center. Witnesses said the building that housed Coles Marine Diesel Repair Ltd. and a neighbouring tourist hostel had burned down. There were no injuries. The owner of the Wynken Blynken Nod Backpackers Hostel, Suzanne Senger, said she had just recently closed the business. "Thank God," said Senger. "If I'd been full of hostelers right now that could have been a serious tragedy." View Larger Map A huge plume of smoke from the fire could be seen kilometres away. Traffic along the main route to the Langdale ferry terminal was being diverted around the fire scene. Gibson's is best known as the location for the 1970s CBC TV series The Beachcombers. The restaurant often featured in the series, Molly's Reach, still operates and sits several hundred metres away from the scene of the fire. Gibsons is on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast, about 30 kilometres northwest of Vancouver, and is accessible only by ferry.

LOL
Of course not. It was gone in a puff of smoke just like the Paypal "Seller protection." To this day I still scan auctions looking for the book. It had a few very distinctive flaws.
