If you already have a Paypal account.. once you've confirmed who the buyer is, you give them your email address that you signed up through Paypal with. The buyer (who also has Paypal), sends to your e-mail address.. Paypal deducts from their account and deposits to your account. There is a seller's fee if they purchase the item as "goods". There is no fee if they send "as a gift"... but if the money is sent as a "gift", there is no recourse if there is a problem with the purchase. That's why I always send as a transaction for "goods" and add a little over the agreed price to cover seller's fees.

BTW.. I'm orig. from the Inland Empire.. what mod are you selling?... LOL

I totally agree, NEVER put " Buyer is responsible for fees" as this is a seller fee and nothing is more lame then a seller putting that in thier sale (lots of them in here). Just make it part of your price sale without mentioning it.

I may want to sell one of my pv's and was wondering how you all like to receive payment. Money order, thru pay pal, or other ways? I have a pay pal acct., but have never used it for receiving payment. How do you set that up? Thanks.

I have told people paypal, amazon or ebay gift certificate.

the thing that sucks about paypal is that your first payment recieved rgets a hold put on it. i know this is how it works when you sell something on ebay for the first time anyway. with that they take off the hold if there's no bad feedback. but there's no way to do that on here so... hope you don't need the money right away don't remember the time frame before they start letting you just get money after the first sale
