I used to have quite a few eBay customers that would mail me a check and I
very seldom waited for the check to clear before I shipped and never had a

quit buying. eBay just sucks now.

Sounds like me. Looks like I'm done with ebay. I haven't been on
there in a while anyway.

I continue to find excellent buys at eBay in a vast array of niches:
clothes, hardware, software, electronics, computer, books, music,
woodworking, metalworking, etc., but I hate what they're becoming.
Damn, how can they continue shooting themselves in the feet like that?
They're -voluntarily- expunging millions of loyal customers. Maroons.

After hearing horror stories (nobody I know has ever had a problem
with account freezes from them) about PayPal, I opened a separate free
bank account specifically for PayPal. No problems in 6 years with
that, either.
