The good thing about paypal is people don't forget to mail the check. I think ebay is foolish forbidding Australian sellers not to take anything but paypal. A lot of countries I have found do not use credit cards. When an e-check clears even from neighboring Canada it can take weeks. In America most of us use the credit cards all the time. I guess who is in charge must be an idiot who thinks all countries are this way. If they had sold much on ebay they would know the difference. If I only took paypal, my business would drop to nothing.
