Was just wondering if most sellers are switching to online payments only? Also, if someone could email me an address to the 'unmentionable' new place where all us homeless are going, I would appreciate it!

There has been a lot of discussion on other boards and I don't know what the majority are doing.
This is my first batch of auctions in a while and I am going to feel strange if I get mail from Washington, NY, or NJ, maybe anywhere in the northeast. Guess I'll handle it when it comes.
Of course, think about the buyers, unless UPS is used, they will definitely get something in the mail.
There was some discussion about whether or not a buyer should reveal exactly where they are located, as in some of the mentioned areas.

I prefer online payment as a buyer or seller because of the speed and ease of the transaction. If Anthrax will make sellers and buyers go that route then 3 cheers for Anthrax.
What I'm fearing is sellers will start calculating their odds of being in a fatal car crash and then trips to the post office will be in jeopardy.

Why Change to Just take online payments for auction due to Anthrax, What do you think this says to your buyer I mean after all you have to sewnd then your item.
I did not mean the question to be a matter of me thinking that someone would mail me Anthrax. What I meant was that the payments would travel through the postal system and maybe come in contact with Anthrax spores along the way.

I perfer online payments myself for sure but you have to look at things from the other side of the fence as well.
Inless you are selling something someone downloads off the internet your package goes through the same postal system as payments.
in any case this problem will be solved soon as they will be nukeing mail to kill any bactria in the mail and or on the machines as well, But I do feel sorry for all who deal in Tapes of any type after they start this.. http://www.Dman-N-Company.com

For some reason I have received more checks than ever before. it is weird. I have also received more e-checks at pay pal than ever before. I have lots of uncleared items on pay pal. I did just stop taking credit cards manualy I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I have had a lot of NPB's too. People are not paying or sending payment weeks later.
