Obviously most of you dont sell a lot of equipment on here. First off, when I list equipment for sale, I pay fees ahead of time, so audiogon gets paid no matter what. Second, who said paypal is the only option to pay for equipment? As a seller, we have very little protection. And as a seller who has a ton of good feedback, and has been a member for many many years, I feel like when I sell something, I can ask for whatever method of payment I want. The buyer has a right to move onto the next item. I always add paypal fees, because if they buyer wants to avoid the fees, they can pay by money order, check, cash, or paypal friends and family. If they want that extra security, they can pay the 3%. I put 20yrs into this site, have a good reputation, and have made a lot of good friends. Last thing Im gonna do is let a new member tell me he is worried about dealing with me. Back in the day, I traded many thousands of dollars back and forth and never really had any major issues. Thats the way it should be. Paypal can go back to Ebay for all I care. As a buyer, just do your research.
