You know they take a percentage! What if the card is stolen? It takes to long to get approved!Well finally he put himself on the waiting list to get a machine, now he does 90% of his business through that machine. People (including me) do not like paying cash! It is awkward, when it gets lost it is gone etc.Plastic is the way of the future, really it is the way of the present.Jeff

I started Ebay in 2000, i was mainly buying at that stage, but soon after, quit my managerial job and became a powerseller full time. Since then I am pleased to say that I have become a TITANIUM level powerseller, but ebay have since changed the goal posts and the qualifying number of items TEN fold so I am only gold level now.

Mike B.LMAO, poor widdle kitty is only a gold powerseller! It just doesn't have the same ring to it. I guess he could always refer to himself as "Former Titanium Powerseller" =)

I bought a signed Melanda, and he sent me one with only one signature, when it should have had 2. His excuse was that the other signer's mother was sick, and he was hesitant to ask for the signature at such a delicate time. Considering it was HIS signature missing, I find that hard to swallow. My Roomscapes came with rusty buttons, one of which was entirely missing.His stuff is not in the best of shape, and he is notorious for shipping items in much worse condition than the auction states. Buyer beware.
