No paypal?
I have pm'd several people on different things I want to purchase and the last 5 don't have paypal, relatively low sales ratings and only accept money order or check. Is EvoM going away from paypal for the majority and using only money orders and checks? ( The last 7 items I was looking at 5 want money order and the 2 things I did purchase the sellers had paypal)

Paypal is a safer way to puchase online...most of the time that is. There shouldn't be any reason why someone cannot get a paypal account. If you have a bank account, you can get a paypal account. I hope it never happens to you but, beware of scammers, it can happen to anyone.

I only accept paypal or credit card for www.mellontuning.com and ran into a few countries that aren't allowed to use paypal in the middle east. So they send money order as it's their only option.

If you are dealing with somebody within the United States I would suggest you use Paypal. It is there for YOUR protection. Do not send a check or a money order. There is no tracking mechanism for that means of payment.

Use paypal, and if you have a problem receiving your goods. Don't bother with paypal. Go straght to your bank, have a charge back.

Check those that have the highest sales ratings, they all accept paypal. I have no personal experience with getting burned or supposedly burned by a paypal transaction however, I have read many threads about it. I believe it is both the buyers and sellers PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY to ensure a legitimate transaction is taking place. If you have doubt in your mind, ask questions, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. There have been a few rare exceptions where I have accepted a MO instead of paypal or face to face cash transaction. Always for a low dollar amount on something I wouldn't be afraid to right off as a lose if it came to it. Never more than $100. If someone has had for financial responsibility or hasn't fulfilled there obligations in the past that should be used as an indicator of there future potential to mess it up. Kinda like a credit rating. I'll get down off my soap box now!
