I honestly try not to, and I have yet to break that streak.Seems like a double standard IMHO. Do you ever purchase any products that are not knives from people not involved with this forum? Do you have the same expectations? Maybe it just seems strange to me as an outsider/newcomer.
If someone donated a knife to a newcomer and just asked for shipping, would they also be considered greedy? They might not be paying for a dealer/vendor membership after all.
New feature on PP as of last week, if you have a debit card (checking account) linked and verified then you can get cash out transfers for $0.25 that show up in minutes. Convenient feature at least.
He told me about the immediate transfer.
The $400 was in my account within a minute.
Cost me $0.25. Pretty cool feature!!
PayPal used to delay 3-5 days before depositing money in the bank account and use the float to make money.
Paypal F&F - or - add 15%
Why not just say F&F only? If one's going to be a slimeball, at least don't be a ridiculous slimeball.That's gotta be a record...I really wish PayPal took reports of this kind of abuse seriously

Yup... it doesn't make any sense.Any good reason sellers are choosing this clear path of insanity? What am I missing?
I also haven't figured out Buyer Chooses Insurance or responsible for insurance or my responsibility end upon shipping nonsense.
As the buyer If I pay G&S and it doesn't arrive, I'll get my money back pretty much guaranteed as no delivery proof or proof of lost package on tracking screen.
The seller would get the transfer deducted from their account (net + fees from PAYPAL) and have no knife and no money and no insurance?

I accept those... but can't ship until it clears the bank. 1-3 weeks.... not to mention they need to be international(payable in Canada, eh?) which costs more. I have had to have multiple checks reissued by clients but still have it as an option.Is there no love for USPS MO and checks?

Drug dealers love MOs...great way to launder dirty cash into a widely accepted legit forms. The USPIS works diligently to prevent this but it still goes on a lot.
OK, to answer your question more directly...No I won't take MOs, they take several days to arrive, are often faked and there are very few legitimate reasons why Paypal can't be used. If someone won't use it and that's all I take then sorry but this probably isn't going to work out.
Very relevant.

I know that is somewhat inflexible but it's the way that I'm comfortable doing business (on both sides) and that's all there is to it.

They are inconvenient and have a history of being faked, while PayPal is instantaneous and relatively secure from scams if used right.
I've taken MOs before, but it's not nearly as convenient as a simple Paypal transaction.
USPS MO's now have a barcode where they scan and verify that they're in the system and for the amount shown.
