I definitely do not like to be on the receiving 
end of Paypal payments. I freely accept them from 
funded accounts for my auctions only because I 
think people bid more freely when they can pay 
with Paypal. But I'm completely sick and tired of 
the people who go on to me about how "convenient 
and easy" it is to upgrade my account. 9_9  I 
always hear how I can get payments "immediately". 
Well, Paypal is ANYTHING but immediate for me. 
Other than paying for a check, I can't get money 
out of the account at all without spending it. 
And if I'm selling stuff on Ebay, it usually 
means I'm trying to GAIN money for something -- 
NOT spend it. ~_~

Thankfully, I have my husband's account (which he 
doesn't use at all) which I have upgraded in case 
people are just *dying* to pay with their credit 
cards. . . AND pay for their own convenience. 
I've had a couple irritating people declare to me 
about how it's not allowed for me to pass on the 
fees. In which case, I just tell them: "I'm 
making an *EXCEPTION* to my rules for you. If you 
don't want to pay the fee, you're welcome to pay 
by one of the methods I stated I *DO* accept."

But I have to say, I always list that I'll ship 
internationally. I'm willing to work with someone 
that will work with me. So far -- on a percentage 
basis -- international bidders have given me FAR 
less trouble than domestic bidders.
