Yeah, they suck.  But I see it as being their problem, not mine.  If they
want to cut the number of potential bidders that's their problem.  It's
not as if there's any unique items I'm missing out on as a buyer.

I am happy to accept payment by EFT, cash, postal order, or Western Union.
None is any hassle for me.

The trouble *I* have with Paypal is that it Just Doesn't Work.  They wanted
me to fax them a copy of my credit card statement with their micro-deposit
on it to authenticate myself.  Fair enough.  I blanked out all the other
transactions and the balance, cos that's none of their business.  But no,
they wanted the whole lot.  They ain't getting it.
