PayPal is the only (figuratively) way to fly (figuratively) unless you 
only want to accept money orders.

There is always a chance of a chargeback, though, if your buyer isn't 
happy about something or is just a pain.  

If I sell something outside the US, I don't warrant it.  Therefore I 
won't accept PayPal in that case.  Money Orders only.....and I check 
them BEFORE I ship the item.

> I am not familiar with BidPay ... so no comment.

It's just a Money Order site.  Fine for sellers.  They notify you that 
your buyer has sent you a money order and that it is on the way.
You can ship then or wait until you get it in your hands.  

Oh yes, as with anything other than the green stuff, there's the remote 
chance you might have problems with stop payment.  I have never
had this happen with money orders, although I got a large one which
was phony.....and I was expecting it, knowing it was a scam.  

Know what, though?  Nobody gives a hoot!  The bank isn't out 
anything cuz they won't cash it.  Only the unsophisticated seller who 
ships without checking is at loss.

Happy Christmas Eve!
