Do dslsports accept BidPay? I would rather use credit card. I don't like send a personal check or money order. Do any website that use credit card to send money order to dslsports?

    I don't know DSL's reasons for not taking PayPal, but they must consider checks and money orders a far more secure method of receiving payment.

    At least they're saving a bundle annually from Paypal fees for not accepting PP. I'm wondering if they would be making more if they accept PP?

    DSL accepts only checks or MO, but you can rest assured that your items will arrive. They are as reputable as anyone on ebay these days.

    To take Bidpay they must have an account set up and it works much like Paypal now.

    I just do not understand where a buyer thinks that writing a check or sending a USPS money order is not safe. IMHO it is safer than Paypal.

    There used to be a website that was made by a person who used Paypal to steal over 30,000 a month using Paypal only as a Payment device. Basically he would fish for the passwords of established Ebay accounts. When he got one(he said he got 8 to 10 a month, not all established) he would immediatly list 50 to 100 items on one or 3 day auctions accepting Paypal only with payment due in 3 days. He would set up a new email account and send all mail to that one. He already had a Paypal account ready, when the auctions ended he would then transfer all the payments recieved in the next day or 2 into his bank account and immediatly close the account. Any outstanding payments he was not worried about as most buyers pay with Paypal in the first 24 hours. He would then repeat the whole process, if Paypal wised up and locked his bank account number out he just went to the bank and opened a savings account and used it to set up a Paypal account. All this took 3 to 5 days and he was gone before the buyers got wise.

    The jilted buyers did not have anything to help track him, no real name, no real address or anything as Paypal does not verify any of this to create an account.

    If you pay with check or money order you will have an address and a name of the person you just bought from that gives you some recourse. If you use a USPS money order and they cash it and you can prove they never sent the item that is mail fraud.
