This is a point of interest for all us "Vanagoners", who like to make
convenient purchases through the internet:
Fact is, when you do a transaction on the internet, you need protection from
fraud.
Ebay Payments/BillPoint offers it, and PayPal does not. Plus, it's cheaper
for the seller, and it can be used anywhere on the Internet, not just on
EBay.
Check it out at http://pages.ebay.com/help/buyerguide/bp-overview.html
After my next transaction, (in progress) - I will refuse all PayPal
transactions.
It's just not worth the risk to use PayPal, I had $200 USD stolen from me -
and got no help from PayPal.
I need protection from fraud. It's that simple.
EBay Payments/BillPoint.
