If you sell and use paypal, you just have to take care that you send registerd/insured shipments for goods above a certain value. Nevertheless ebay should allow other payment options for those who prefer it. But I have given up to sell at ebay since sellers are not allowed to leave neg feedbacks for buiyers, that was the much more significant policy change for me. Didier >Starting October ( 1? 30?)
