Though the idea of Paypal is that you don't get stuck with a bounced
check, or worse, a fake money order, cashier's check. Problem with
Pypal is the recipient of thgoods can complain to Paypal about this or
that and get the charges reversed and you will not always see your item
ever again either.

As an old-hand ebayer, I would just say that if you sell high priced
items
on ebay advice your seller to pay in some way other than PayPal. They
get
paid on a percentage of the payment and it is WHOPPING! When I sell
cars.
etc up there I have the buyer pay by cash, cashier's check, direct wire
or
account transfer -- saves $$$$$!
My $0.02.
