Pat,
There are reasons for my dislike of eBay and PayPal that are not appropriate to the QB forum. We do have an eBay account and did buy and sell there for quite a while years ago. But they made too many political changes you and others may not be exposed to.
That soured me on them.
I've seen a lot of GW auctions that have been relisted due to non payment. Generally when that happens it's noted in their text and the auction had numerous bids on it. Not always, but generally.
Joe
