   Hello,

I have been doing some investigation into various sets on Bricklink.com and ebay and have noticed something kind of odd. There seems to be a lot of people that do not list Pay Pal in their accepted form of payment. I am slow to convert to a lot a new things but I have found Pay Pal to be pretty easy to use with the exception of the slow transfer rate of money from bank accounts (that seems slow with all electronic payments). So why do people insist on me going to the bank, paying a fee on top of the check amount to get the bank check or money order so I can mail them the piece of paper which will take a few days depending on how far it has to go and then once it is received the person has to take that piece of paper to the bank and deposit it?

Are they trying to support the banking industry and postal service?

Do they just like things to be more complicated?

Are they not aware of the convenience of paying online?

Are they just right down weary of doing anything financial online because of security concerns?

or

Have they not gotten around to setting up a PayPal account to accept payments?

I am mostly just annoyed and doubt I’ll get any serious answers but maybe someone will read this and go look at Pay Pal or something similar (I’m using paypal but that is just because its the most convenient thing I have found thus far) and decide doing business online for free with less hassle isn’t such a bad idea after all. I also deem it a hassle to go get a money order or bank check and have to mail it to someone so I take that in consideration when looking at LEGO online that I might want to buy. Others may also.

Thanks for reading.
