I don't like the Goodwill auction site for all the reasons Candace mentioned. I much prefer ebay AND Paypal...you get buyer protection from both. Actually sellers CAN take payments other than Paypal according to eBay's rules BUT you have to contact the seller to see if they will. But why would a seller want to wait for a MO....or for a check to clear when Paypal is so much better for them too? Years ago, I sold a lot on ebay....& I remember lots of emails from buyers asking me to hold an item yet another week til their next payday before they could pay me. And back then too, MOST people wouldn't even bid if you didn't take Paypal! I don't really understand your problem with it.... But anyway, to be fair, a machine might be relisted due to a non-paying bidder.
