Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
right? I saw that earlier on Regretsy and Boing Boing and I just could not believe it. I get that they have a rule that fake goods should be destroyed, but they aren't law enforcement and don't have the means of discerning whether a RARE musical instrument is faked or not.
Besides, the instrument did play music so it wasn't like a block of wood or something even if it wasn't exactly what the seller claimed.
I am pretty outraged. Needless destruction.
The question is, what's a reasonable alternative to PayPal? There's nothing else, is there?
There definitely should be.
Bitcoin! Heh.
There are a few alternative services, but they're not anywhere near as useful as PayPal. Nearly everyone takes PayPal.
Banks in the US are just now starting to let people send funds via email. A system for that has been in place in Canada for a while.
Amy,
when I can, I use Amazon payments but that perhaps isn't the best way for things like ebay. It's been a long time since I used ebay.
Square looks like something I would want (and their card case app): [link]
but that isn't ideal for something like ebay.

There's still not a lot of retailers who use it. And I think it costs me a buck for every transactions, but that may just be money transfers via email.

I love the idea of Square/Card Case, but I don't know of any stores that actually use it. Seems to be more common closer to Silicon Valley.
I see it used a lot by local arts & crafts vendors. Really makes sense if you are doing the market/fair circuit.
