what about paypal?

you know, i've seen adds here at astro mart where some people say no pay pal,is there a down side to this service? john

I don't use it because I am only an occasional user of Astromart and I don't mind depositing a M.O. or personal check. If someone only does business by means of PayPal I guess I miss out but it's no big thing....

I do not use paypal. If someone does not want to accept a Postal Money Order from me, that is to bad. It is their loss and not mine. I know sooner or later the item I am looking for will appear for sale by someone else and chances are that it will be at or less than the price of the paypal seller. Another thing that I suspect is that many of the so called "resellers" on Astromart use paypal. This is another sorce that I tend not buy from or sell to. I feel like it is buying a used car. What are you really getting? I have been burnt twice in the last two years by resellers. I am sure that I am going to get some flak over this, but it still is my opinion and I doubt it will change.

I love paypal... I have a separate bank account attached which I keep 5 bucks in.. when I want to buy something I just transfer funds to the bank account.. I also have a dedicated credit card with a low limit.....

When I receive funds I do the exact reverse.. I transfer to my dedicated bank account right away then transfer it to another account....

Will I ever get ripped off.... maybe...maybe not.. but I would never lose that much if I did..

I also gladly pay by MO when requested....

All are just another way to pay or receive funds and all have their risks.
