I personally would have a hard time accepting his payment requirements. I know he has 100% rating but I would have a hard time trusting someone enough to send a money order. |

It is a nice price but not so nice considering what he paid for the Lume Dial! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290194750263 I too find it hard to make an unprotected purchase on eBay. |

I agree.I did not read the sellers terms. Already own a lume SA and waiting on a Monstrum to be delivered. I've noticed many of the vintage pocket watch sellers on the Bay do not except Paypal, which is somewhat understandable given the age and complications of the watches being sold.I would not feel comfortable paying with anything other than Paypal for the Orsa auction though. Thanks for the heads up JC hand6.gif |

I haven't been in the market so it very well could also be listed on one of the forums. I'll do money order or check to someone I "know" from a forum but on the Bay I like a layer of so-called protection. |

No paypal because he doesn't wanna pay the fees. Yes I agree, he should have offered this in the watch forums for sale. People usually pass on the Paypal fees to the buyer so he should've done that but that's just me. Heck of a deal though. |

Hucky, the seller might of had negative experiences in the past with Paypal.If thats the case, I feel for him/her. I'm not a fan of Paypal either. Oagaspar. as far as Paypal being the same or similiar to a money order ....I would have to disagree.By using a trusted credit card(any card from USAA imho) you gain a valuable advantage if the seller flakes. I'm not dogging the above seller, with his perfect rating theres no reason to think he is anything less than honest. |

Preferred payment can depend on experience. I don't do wire or paper checks anymore and after USPS discontinued online MO I quit using those too. I only use paypal now. Backed up with a CC I'd let the issuer deal with any issues and if they don't come through I'll just borrow dads attorney to rip them a brand new one. LOL :D |

I was buying watches online and on forums way before there was paypal  .... there are still those who won't pay their bills online for the same reason and don't have paypal or use it at all and will get a nice deal on 2 watches cause' they only deal in M.O's....

Oagaspar, I missed your qualifier "in this situation" in your first post.Sorry. I see your point for a "in this situation" transaction, there would be no reason not to cut out the middleman if there was a comfortable trust between the buyer and seller. |

LOL yea I see many different usernames. Sometimes I know if it is the same person others not sure. From 1995 to now on forums of all types I have used "Skipdawg" ;) Got it as a nickname in the navy in 1985 and it stuck. :cool: LOL :D There is some fella who uses it on MySpace and another blogger using it but iIwas the first the original. yourock.gif  |
