Hi mar30.

Welcome back! Since you've had a 2 year break from Ebay, you may not know this...Ebay offers NO buyer protection anymore at all. Only PP does. I used to think nothing of sending a $100 money order to a seller, but not anymore. If the seller didn't want to send my item I'd be up the creek now

Alot of folks, including myself will ONLY pay with Paypal now. As long as what you sell isn't going for hundreds of dollars, I wouldn't even worry about chargebacks etc. And even in the event of a chargeback, your CC would fight it. I would want the buyer to fell more secure in bidding, therefore hopefully getting more bids

JMHO...
I don't know anything about Amazon or other ecommerce sites because I've never used any of them. Speaking for myself, I would take PP.

OH and CEO Meg Whitman from Ebay is gone now and there are rumors of lowered seller fees (think I even read something to that effect in Auctionbytes).

In any case, good luck with whatever you decide
