Is it worth trying to sell credits if you don't use PayPal?  Are people willing to pay by money order or do they just wait until someone who uses PayPal advertises credit for sale?

TIA

Members ask for Amazon E-Gift cards or some ask for money orders - here is a couple of links discussing the subject and the first one explains how to set up a paypal account!

I set up a Pay Pal account two weeks ago and it was SUPER easy!

I setup a PayPal account years ago.  It is super easy.  To get RIPPED OFF!!

When you make a payment with PayPal you can fund it with:

1) a credit card

2) your bank account (or a debit card)

3) your PayPal balance

You are in risky territory when you fund your PayPal payments with anything but a credit card.  Why?  Because you lose your credit card chargeback rights.  Maybe you don't know what credit card chargeback rights are?  You should!  They are given to you by law for your protection.

I send money orders for credits and don't mind doing so.  It's a bit of a risk, I'm sure, but no one has stiffed me yet.

Thank you for the responses. I am still not sure if I want to deal with PayPal or not, but I appreciate the information.
