I've had one buyer from the Netherlands send me a payment by engergyflow. I received the "unbouncable internet check." It was fine, no problems, never received one before, haven't receveived one since. I'm thinking of looking into it a bit more, though, it seems like a good idea.

fallen_madonna I like your ID and your name (my name is Jan too but everyone calls me Rocker)and I liked your song too in my other post!!
So if I want to use your NO PAYPAL ICON in my auction, do I put it in my item description like this?

http://www.btinternet.com/~jan_johnson/nopaypal.jpg

Does it need the brackets around it? How do I do it exactly? I would appreciate if someone could tell me. THANK YOU!
Rocker (still not HTML savvy)

hey Rocker!

You should save the picture to one of your servers. But if you want to leave it where it is, you can insert it in your auctions just like this:

<img src=http://www.btinternet.com/~jan_johnson/nopaypal.jpg>

If you put that link your auction exactly like that, the NO PAYPAL icon will show up in your auction.

I had the same thing happen to me, I had the 4 payment options listed and the bidder after 4 e-mails finally sent me a e-mail saying that she only sends PayPal. By the time I went to give her neg feedback she became an "unregistered user" therefore I couldn't leave feedback. I get stuck paying the fees and still holding the merchandise. I guess people just read what they want to read.

Exec Girl THANKS! But okay... now you find out how really clueless I am... sigh... I don't know how to upload the icon to my server because... usually I use the easy stuff any monkey can do, like when I create my ads in AW and it says UPLOAD IMAGES and then ya hit BROWSE - I browse through my files and click the photo file I want. BUT being that this paypal icon is NOT in my files.. I don't know how to put it on my AW ad. Sigh. I told ya I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
Any suggestions?
By the way, I'm a little low on cash this week EG, can I borrow a few magic beans from ya? Huh? Can I? Can I? Huh?

Rocker: Nah.. I can't pay you with Paypal - I don't have an account. But will you take a check?? Huh?? Will you??

To upload pics to your AW server.

1) Right click on this picture and click on "save picture as" and save it. REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE SAVING IT.

2) Click on your Auction Manager tab at the top (when you are signed into AW)

3) Click on "Image Hosting"

4) Click on "Browse" and find the NO PAYPAL pic that you just saved

5) Find the NO PAYPAL pic you just saved and click on "UPLOAD"

6) It will show you a preview. Click on the thumbnail pic so you can see the full sized pic. Right click on it and click on "properties".

7) It will say Address(URL) somewhere and that's the URL to the pic.

8) Insert that URL below:

<img src=THE URL HERE>

9) Then insert that in your auctions. (exactly as above)

Easy, huh????

But I digress....

Getting back to your original post, EG, I have another thought.
When winning bidder in question emails you:
"SORRY, I ONLY DO PAYPAL"
- you send bidder one pile of cow manure. When bidder emails you "HEY I DIDN'T BID ON COW MANURE", you email back
"SORRY I ONLY DO COW MANURE".
I don't see anything wrong with this.
