As a buyer I wasn't about to send you a check for more than a couple of bucks without assurances (and no the FB system did not provide that). Let's be honest more stuff is selling, and for higher amounts, because of the ebay changes (CC only, money back guarantee, etc.). You can still get paid in cash or check by selling locally if you really prefer that. > Why don't we just use bitcoin? Because then inflation would go through the roof. Imagine you had paid one bitcoin ten years ago for a system. That would have been $2 (11/2011 price) Now with the change in price of bitcoin that coin is worth $37,046. Are you willing to sell your system to another buyer for $2 or even a $100? After all that system just cost you $37,044. Some people will not see it that way but most people will and want their money back plus interest -Ali

Re: Flip-Chip selloff (Al Kossow)
I remember how annoying it was when Ebay required all payments through paypal. I preferred checks and getting all the money. With Ebay's cut plus I am sure the new payment cut will be above Paypal's it becomes less and less interesting to sell things there. But that's what happens when you have 100% of the market. Why don't we just use bitcoin?

In the case of the items OP's thread is pertaining to, perhaps it's a bit of a moot point for you in the UK and others on this international mailing list. They are clearly listed there (but not mentioned here AFAIK) with "Note, NO international shipping."

A few months ago I sold on eBay some servers and NAS stuff for a client. I thought it would be easy to see the detailed financial breakdown... what it sold for, what came in, what was their cut, how much was shipping, what went to PayPal, etc. I couldn't find it for the life of me. The paypal bit is easy: look at your paypal account! The ebay part is OK too: My Ebay->Summary. Account. Seller Account. All Account Activity. At least, in the UK, that works for me. Currently if I sell something the buyer pays with Paypal and I then send the stuff. It can still be reversed and I've not tried to empty my PayPal balance to see if it will let me ... Shipping you need to track yourself (although if you use ebay for that too then it might list it). Antonio -- Antonio Carlini anto...@acarlini.com
