I've bought on eBay for years - I have a feedback around 750, with no negatives. I've had a verified PayPal account for six years, but have used it only to buy, never sell.
Now it's time to sell off some of my hoard - mostly WWII related items, and historical memorabilia. Some of it is (I hope!) relatively expensive - $200 to $2,000. Question: should I get a PayPal Premier account? I've read all the horror stories about PayPal freezing your account for weeks at a time, which makes me nervous, but I know that more people will buy with PayPal because it can be accomplished easily, without fuss, and with a credit card. My clientele will be (mostly) seasoned collectors who will (probably) not mind getting postal money orders or cashier's checks, but....I hate to reduce the buyer pool. PayPal would also allow me easy access to potential buyers in Canada and the UK, and perhaps a quarter of my offering will related to Royal Air Force or RCAF.
Any eBay veteran sellers on CPF who can help me out with this decision? Any hints when setting up a Premier account?
Thanks!
