Just wondering your opinion on this. I myself don't like it.

    I DON'T LIKE IT EITHER. YOU SHOULD GIVE A BUYER PLENTY OF OPTIONS.

    I don't sell that way because you should have more options for the buyer but i do love to buy from a person that sells with paypal only as a option because you can get things cheaper that way. Exspecially the ones that have immediate payment required. I guess they are hard up for money and can't wait around for a money order.

    I always let my buyers choose paypal/money order/or cashiers check. However I love buying from people that accept paypal, it lets them instantly receive the payment and mail out the card the next day, instead of waiting for a week to receive a check, if its a personal check waiting another 10 days for that to clear... and a month later you get your card.

    Because some people don't use PayPal, limiting an auction to PayPal only eliminates them as bidders. That is never a good thing.

    I agree with Nick. Same goes for people who use Money Order only. Personally, it's a real hassle for me to get to the post office and pay $5 for an Int'l Money Order (I'm in Canada), so those people don't get my bid.

    Also, the great thing about Paypal is that you can use your credit card and people will often spend more because they don't have to have the funds in their bank account to buy a card they want.

    Paypal is good- but it shouldn't be the only option. As soon as you cut down on peoples payment options, you lose them as customers.
