Do all sellers have to use paypal.

Maybe we could make an exception in this one case, huh Craig?

or pay using one of the better methods

Is paypal compulsory on here like ebay or do I have to check everytime to only bid on those that offer it?

No, Paypal isn't compulsory, you can use whichever payment method you're comfortable using. I use Paypal as it's easy for me and relatively easy and acceptable to buyers, but if it isn't your cup of java, many use Google Checkout, Moneybookers/Skrill and others.

Oh and welcome to eBid.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

What about chocolate?

(kernowlass - we often joke with Ma'am over her love of chocolate, just ignore us!)

I accept chocolate as payment. I have been paid in chocolate for some purchases for years now

No payment method here is compulsory you are allowed to choose from the following payment providers:

PayPal
PPpay
Google
Nochex
Moneybookers AKA Skrill
Cheques/checks
Postal Orders/Money Orders
Cash
BACS/EFT Bank Transfer
Credit/Debit Cards
Chocolates
E-Top ups
Jelly Babies

You may however not accept the following:
Money Gram
Western Union
Biscuits

No Western Union? That was a handy method of payment at one time on the other site, though I know there were some abuses related to it (not exactly sure what those abuses were, I never had a problem).

Just to correct an misunderstanding I am just a buyer not a seller, its just I prefer using paypal to buy for a bit more protection.
I had been searching on ebay for an item for ages, decided to try here (last time I came a few years ago nothing) but this time I found just what I wanted and in loads of different colours as well. So I am going to be hanging around ebid a bit more in the future. Thank you to the friendly ones that welcomed me as I was a bit disheartened by the sarcasm I was originally met with on another thread.

Almost anything goes (within reason) as far as my payments are concerned. I take Pay Pal (but don't like their charges), Money Bookers (Very good and cheap) cash, cheques, euros etc. Most people have Pay Pal, but there is nothing to say that
you must have it.
