There are a few reasons we don't take those pay options and I think I stated them pretty well, but it's a fair question to ask.

In our new world of instant gratification we are still old school and happy. We have discussed it many times but never came to the conclusion of doing it.

If you could only get rid of that sales tax for us Texas residents.

On a big enough item a cousin could buy it from out of state....if they collected those kind of items of course . It would only make sense on a larger ticket item though..

Is it just me, or is using credit to purchase baseball cards a bad idea?

I often offer to pay via paypal family and friends so they have no fees. Don't know if it is "kosher" or not.

Some AH are OK with it, others not. Never understood why they wouldn't accept. They get their $$ faster, and I get my winnings sooner. Makes sense to me.

Nearly all auction houses consider all sales to be final. Few offer a return privilege. If buyers used credit cards, there would be a lot of returns, with the credit card companies typically standing behind them. I know in most businesses allowing a return is a good policy, but I don't think too many auction houses would go for that.
