I disagree about having to take paypal

in order to get top dollar. I know of a person who sells a ton of coins on ebay and he doesn't accept paypal. He claims he realizes prices better than most others accepting paypal. His fb is over 700 the last time I checked and 100%, so he sells on his reputation and not paypal. His logic is he saves about $3000 a year in paypal fees and never has to worry about a buyer grabbing him by the ........ and trying to do the infamous paypal dispute form for no legit reason except someone wants a free product. The only negative he told me is that he won't do auctions starting at a penny in order to protect himself from less bids and furthermore from my discusssions with him there is a breed of buyers out thr]ere who don't have paypal accounts and specifically seek out people who deal in checks only. Yes, if you have fb like under 50 and less than a 100% then you probably will end up having to accept lower prices without paypal. I personally disagree with the way ebay almost indirectly forces everyone to accept paypal acting like there is nothing like it in the world in terms of protection. I believe in a free market and if someone wants to buy from someone who doesn't accept paypal or for that matter a credit card then both have every right in the world to engage in the transaction under a democratic capitalistic society. I've personally heard enough horror stories of people having problems with paypal to disagree with ebay in trying to get everyone involved with the paypal cult. Does anyone really believe if paypal was owned by someone else that ebay would be promoting it like they do?

2. you can sell good coins on ebay and do well w/o taking paypal but you lose some bidders. More bidders is usually a good thing.
3. There is no "rights" issues here.
