another reason why you have to love neteller and the new betjm debit card. Screw paypal anyway. I hardly even use it anymore. It's just annoying

paypal's only use is eBay transactions, other than that, it sucks.

I liked being able to do small stuff for contest purposes but it's not the end of the world.

Speaking of EBAY - they such too. It used to be such a good site. I can't stand it now

Well what drove me away from it is the freaking shipping costs.

"You can get this DVD for 1.99 but the shipping is 12 bucks"

Exactly - what a crock of shit

I used to make good money selling tickets. Now everytime I post them I get some dumb message and they remove them (while there are thousands of other ones).

What people used to do is sell tickets and then include some sports memorabilia in too so then if the price exceeds face value, you can say the rest of the money goes towards the memorabilia. Don't know if they cracked down on that.

Yes - I have done this as well. It just bothers me that they have double standards.

Besides I have no more Gary Coleman stuff to give away. Some guy in Iowa bought them all.

In my dealings with paypal I have found they take a cut of about 5% or so of the transaction

Yes - they did not become a multi million dollar company because they were nice people. They have quite a % and gig over there

Yep, pretty high cut. While we were ripping them thought I would throw that in
