I quit selling on ebay when PayPal (also ebay) held up a payment to me for an incredibly long time after I had shipped the item, provided a tracking number to PayPal, but the buyer hadn't left feedback.
When I recently sold my computer, I went to Craigslist instead and was paid in cash.
If you Google PayPal horror stories, you'll find people who suffered severe financial hardship because of their current practices. The higher sales fee is just the tip of the iceberg with ebay and PayPal.
There are weird people in California. Not like my home state of Kansas where everyone is normal and well-adjusted. Well, except for those "In Cold Blood" guys. Oh, and BTK, the serial killer. And that guy who murdered the abortion doctor. And the Bloody Benders who murdered passers-through, and...oh, well, forget it.
