AH:
As usual near the end of the thread, or at least after ii has gotten "legs" it starts going down hill. That having been said........
Not being in the sell/swap business Pay Pal is just another complication, to me, that is something else with an application, password, program or who knows what that there is no patience for here. I sell perhaps one or two items a year. Sometimes something that has been around the shack for years unused or that has been bought from another ham that I thought could not be lived without.
One item , my TS450sat was sold because I bought another rig. Sorry I sold it, very happy with the new one! The HAM I sold it to claimed that iI had "jacked up the receiver" and went off on a tirade about the 450. It was truly like new and never opened up except to install a narrow CW filter. I was the original owner. A few weeks later I saw what appeared to be my 450 for sale on another swap board as in perfect shape , like new and so on. Perhaps he was trying to shame me into a partial refund. He, upon checking, was or appeared to be in the business of buy/resell. I will never purchase an item from someone in the business again. Someone like me that once in a great while sells something, sure. Not ebay for sure.
I use a check or postal money order. Say in the posting "after the check clears" but on the 4 0r 5 times have done that over the years have shipped as soon as the check shows up in the mail, Trust.
My point is that to exclude me because I will not use pay pal says more about you than me!
