Re: HPs on ebay: should I sell overseas? Message #9 Posted by Raymond Del Tondo on 29 Dec 2005, 4:01 p.m., in response to message #1 by erik
Hi,
in my experience, the additional paperwork
consists of simply writing some words about
the package contents, a number representing
the content's worth, and a signature .
Ok, I'm from Europe, but judging from the
US parcels I got so far, and the parcels
I sent to the U.S. , it wasn't too
much additional effort for the senders;-)
PayPal, and other forms of non-cash payments,
may all have pros and cons .
I made good experiences with PayPal so far.
It's the fastest way to pay.
Overseas postal money orders are more expensive,
especially to the USA take much longer to arrive,
and force the receiver to go to the postal office
to make it money or put it onto his bank account.
With all online banking or trading methods,
you have to be extra careful regarding your password,
and to avoid opening spam or virus mails which
try to suck your access data.
But that's not a PayPal problem in particular,
but a general problem with all online services.
So these services are as safe as you
handle your personal access data;-)
So to answer in short, IMHO it's not that bad
to at least offer PayPal payments as an option,
because there may be more interested bidders,
especially from non-US locations.
Regards, and have a happy new year!
Raymond
