Bidpay For Ebay Payment

[ColinBarber]

Has anybody used Bidpay for eBay payments in the US? The seller won't take PayPal from international buyers only Bidpay which is Western Union's auction payments.

Not sure if it offers the buyer any protection, or do you just rely on your credit card protection?

mmmm....

i would question why the seller wont take paypal

not had any problems of anyone not accepting mine yet ;)

[whitie]

Same here, I've bought things from the US using Paypal no problem?

[ColinBarber]

I've brought things in the US with paypal too with no problems.

He does take paypal from within the US and has a 3000+ eBay rating (99.9% positive).

strange

perhaps he has had some sort of trouble before ;)

seems to have a good rating though

i'd say he only accepts US verified Paypal accounts and apparently it takes about a week for a non verified account to clear or something. Dunno exactly but thats roughly what I was told once.

I'm not fooling for the old 'hope it's not a .....' trick. You just want to be the only one with a turbo whistle :P

I'd want two anyway - make people think I have a twin turbo ;)

No it's nothing for the Lex. Looking at a new watch.
