OT: Payment options

[Rob D.]

Drew,

I have done just fine without using PayPal. I do use it now because of convenience but never felt like I left money on the table when I didn't offer it as an option.

As Scott said, for many years countless transactions were done via the mail with checks or money orders.

Bottom line: If you're selling good stuff at fair prices, you'll do fine.

(All of the above is in regard to selling on Net54. eBay is a place where I would say PayPal is a must.)

Best of luck.

Thanks for the input so far. Someone mentioned using a trusted friends paypal account. I have a friend who offered this but am wondering if it would look shady to buyers? I would be upfront of course as to why but don't want to risk ruining a reputation on the boards.
Any other input (or interest)?
Keep the comments coming.

If someone wants what you're selling, you'll do fine without PayPal.

Absurd and suicide seem a little strong. Auction houses do ok with no PayPal and they tack on about 20%.
