Then you can also transfer the money in your Paypal account to your bank if you want to. It takes a few days but it is well worth it.
This has been a great forum to unload unused and unneeded items with the drama or hassle of ebay.
You also have to remember that this quilt board was NOT set up to just sell items!! It seems to me that some members have been using this board as a site to sell(JMHO). I do buy from people on here, but that's not why I'm on here. I'm here to LEARN new things and enjoy the comraderie of fellow quilters.
Paypal is the best and most secure way to handle a transaction, but I've also never had a problem with a check from anyone on here yet.
I signed up for this board because it offered the most knowledge, the best tips and hints and just all around great ideas. There is a comaradirie of sisterhood with shared goals and talents and there is never the feeling of being afraid to ask a question. I like how Craftybear and Amma help and share tips and sites on how to make things. The last thing I joined for was to sell items. It is just an outgrowth of buying items and seeing if my unneededs can be someone's treasure.
