[Spridgets] eBay/Paypal was Holy SMOKES !!!

tinydog expounded:

Here's my PayPal story:

When I sell bones, old dog dishes, and leashes on ebay, I always use PayPal. I get paid right away and don't have to wait for checks to clear or money orders to arrive. Sure they take 2%-3%, but the sale is completed, finito.

When I want my money, I order a withdrawl to my bank account and the money arrives in several days.

I even use it to receive money for non-ebay sales, if the other dog or master agrees to cover the fees.

It may not be a dog's life for everyone, but it works for me.
