noob to selling on ebay-dont want to use paypal

[spazo]

I've got some stuff that I really don't need and I want to get rid of some so I'm gonna ebay them. The thing is, I really don't want to have to deal with paypal and connecting my bank account with them so what are my options as a selller? I suppose I can do money orders but are those a good way of dealing with unknown(and potentially nonpaying) people? Say they send me a money order but for some reason, they decide to cancel it before I get it, is that possible and then I get screwed over in the end?

Yep use BidPay.com it's not as instant as Paypal is but it is safe and secure.

Actually, you send the item as soon as you get the Bidpay approval.

Big thumbs up for Bidpay, great service, and I've had quite a few people that have used them.

thanks for the tip. I have been only using paypal after getting burned on a MO. That was 3 weeks of hell over a $25 auction.

Make sure you state about 1 million times in your auction what forms of payment you accept and what forms you don't.

Maybe 2 million.

paypal is really easy in my opinion. I'd just go with that.

yeah, you don't have to connect your bank account to it or anything, it's not that big of a deal.
