Some buyers (and sellers) insist on paypal not for any perceived safety, but for speed and ease. I'd much rather click the mouse a few times than go wait in line at a post office. I insist on paypal as a buyer too, because my time is precious to me and going to the post office usually kills an hour or more.

asiafish,

Thanks for pointing out this speed and ease aspect. In the "12. methods of payment" if you deposit cash into checking account I can ship immediately after the hour it shows deposited.

A .pdf of the prepaid shipping label is acceptable in lieu of the shipping cost included in the deposit. The label ensures it goes to where the buyer wants, at the shipping service the buyer wants.

Personally, if the seller doesn't accept PP (or credit card directly), I just don't bother with the hoops and hassles necessary and buy elsewhere. If its a matter of fees, most sellers just have the buyer add 3% to cover the PayPal fees.

Where keeping PayPal from getting its fees may be priceless to some, making my purchase with a few clicks, no inconvenience and no gasoline is worth far more to me.
