Will become more so, now that eBay and PayPal are splitting. For sellers and buyers, there will be less protection. So, for sellers ask for payment via a bank check sent to you via US postal mail, not shipping until the check full clears, sometimes can take 30 days. Now that eBay and PayPal are divorced, eBay must permit this form of payment. They cannot force you into PayPal. For buyers, things will become more complicated. However, the buyer using a bank check sent via US Postal mail, will be able to use the Postal Fraud statutes and also be able to file a local police report if things get dicey. Believe me, a call to the seller from your local police department will get the seller's attention.
