If I have to leave my computer to pay, I generally won't bid.

Subject: Auction Payments...or, PayPal vs. Money Order/Cashiers Check



Hello all. Last month I won an auction on eBay at a seemingly small cost for a
very nice pen.  A pen that should have commanded at least twice or three times
what I paid for it.  The seller only wanted a MO or cashier’s check as opposed
to taking a PayPal payment.  This got me to wondering about payment options and
how much an auction can go for.

 

The questions are:  If you are bidding and prefer to pay with PayPal, are you
willing to bid a higher amount since you won’t have to go thru the hassle of
getting a MO or cashier’s check?  And/or, if you are selling on eBay, does a
seller lose additional or potential revenue if they do not accept PayPal
payments (either cash or credit card)?

 

Best regards, 

 

Eric
