Answer 1

paypal cause if you get ripped off you get your money back!

Answer 2

God, I SWEAR by PayPal......evrything I have ever used it for has been great. E-Bay, Craigslist, any kind of online sales. s***w waiting for a check. They pay you by PayPal, you have it THEN. Done deal!

Answer 3

paypal fee's are crazy 3%+ 0.30 (under 3k in sales a month)4%outside of your country

If a stolen credit card was used to pay with the auction paypal locks you account.

Paypal is not a bank there is no insurance.

Paypal is safer for the buyer but not the seller. The seller is required to Prove you shipped the item.(if problems happen)

Paypal is faster

being faster there is less likely that the buyer will pull out.

Paypal Is easy. (less work)

Paypal is safer when it comes to counterfeit checks/money orders.

Remember if you take a check/money order to hold off shipping the item until the check/money order clears you bank.

*this information is for the seller. For a buyer it's always best to use paypal.

Answer 4

Paypal, because it is safe, and it charge nothing.

If you have a Paypal account, why not use it?

Using check is more troublesome and it may charge you some service fee.

Answer 5

paypal because you can have a record of it in a more easy to reach form to the question of depositing money i honesty do not know but an online transaction is really faster so I'd suppose a check would be higher if not the same if that made sense, ever lol
