I hope it works. I got my signing in. Paypal has some weird rules and I pray I never get screwed by them. Wish there was more than just paypal to choose from.

there are a lot other to choose from it is just that paypal was really the first and they have the largestest % of people using it and buyers like so what can you say the buyers run the show. Plus I like paypal I have the debit card with is cool, because I get 1.5% cash back on all purchases so in the end my fees are very low.

As a seller, I try to maintain as friendly a communication as I can with the bidders, send items promptly, keep them constantly up to date so they don't wonder what's going on, and give them a scan of the post office receipt.
Then I pray transactions go smoothly,

The only thing with that Jlew is..
1st off I mailed over 250+ cards last week, on them less than 1% wanted insurance, now do I raise me shipping fees to include delivery conf and then people stop buying saying the shipping is too high and move to the guy that is .50 or $1 cheaper on the shipping yes they do. I have tracked my sales using different prices and have noticed a difference. here is another thing. I offer insurance on everything I sell and if the value is more than $50 I require insurance.
with me insurance includes delivery conf, but people don't want to pay so should I, heck no, this is a business, I am not columbia or BMG music a where I can reship the order and it doesn't matter, plus there is a no guarantee I even got anther card like that in my inventory.
I can't control the PO and if it loses mail, what is a seller supposed to do refund or ship another card to everyone that says they didn't get their card and another thing what happens when the card or widget shows up 2 weeks later, will they email me and say I got the card and I am sending your money back. So If they don't want the option of insurance I guess it is a crap shoot.
I haven't had many maybe less than 2% say they haven't received something.
If paypal started jumping in and refunding, I think it is a loophole that some people use to make money off sellers
What do you think about that, although if you JLew emailed me and said you didn't get a card you bought from me I would make it right because I have seen you around on the boards and you seem very honest, but what about the others.
just my thought, I am telling you it is a something that will cause a lot of stress, I am to please but they had the option to get protect themselves but some don't.
