Sorry, Mike...

If you start insisting on eCheck or PayPal, you will forever lose my business,
not that I've bought much from you, but I object to what PayPal has done with
limiting a buyer's use of credit cards for payment.

Well, that's certainly your choice.

But I never said I am going to insist on eCheck or Paypal.  What I am
talking about is that if someone is going to pay me WITH Paypal I think we
should all agree to do it the eCheck way (which is one of the ways you can
pay someone with Paypal), not with CC's, to bypass the limit you seem so
opposed to.

If you want to buy with me and pay with a personal check or money order -
that's fine.  It's more of a hassle for me, and I can see a day when, if
99/100 of my orders are paid with Paypal or something like it I might add an
"inconvenience" charge for having to make a physical trip to the bank, but
I've never said I am only interested in taking Paypal payments.

If you feel so strongly about Paypal that you'll refuse to use their service
as a buyer, something that will cost you nothing, that's your right, but I
think that comes close to silly spitefulness than it does righteousness.

And you can't NOT accept US cash, can you??

Who says?  I certainly WILL accept US Cash, although I'd urge you not to
send it as I'm not going to be responsible for it if someone along the way
opens your envelope and takes it (you'd be amazed at how many envelopes
arrive unsealed).  But who says I, as a private citizen, am bound to accept
US cash for any purposes?  The government may be bound to it, but I'm not.

The problem I have is that PayPal places an unreasonable hold/delay on funds wired in to them. Wired moeny is already in their hands - (...) (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.services)
