Why PayPal Payments?

PayPal payments are safe and nothing, other then paying cash in person, is as fast & easy. Payments are received in seconds, allowing immediate shipment, I can transfer them to my bank account just as fast and it's simply not worth the time or inconvenience to accept anything else.

Cheques & money orders pose a risk, delay shipments a week or more while in the mail and cheques can delay shipments for weeks longer while waiting for them to clear, especially if not from Canada. Simple mistakes make them un-cashable, like having a money order made payable to the item purchased, rather then myself, and they require a trip to the bank and waiting in line to cash them.

And don't bother asking about using one of the other instant money transfer methods similar to PayPal as I have better things to do then waste time learning about and doing what's required to use each one just to receive a few dollars & make it a bit easier for those that prefer to use something besides PayPal. After all, it's not as if I must sell my goodies in order to live and feel I do enough, as it is, with the hours spent listing my items to help others find a bargain or item unavailable elsewhere.

But contact me if PayPal is more then simply an inconvenience as I understand there are sometimes special circumstances and have made a few exceptions for businesses, those from a country where PayPal is unavailable and those without a credit card or bank, that keep their money in a sock and can only pay cash. (Yes, there really are some that don't use banks and keep their money in a sock, or where ever, just as there are some that have mailed cash and have sent their credit card type, number, expiry date and security code in an unsecure email message.)

How to make a Payment . . . . . .

Go to

, "click" on

and make payment to my PayPal email address provided

in my reply - or - request a PayPal invoice to be sent to your PayPal email address.

(PayPal invoices are no longer automatically sent as many use a different email address for PayPal that I'm not aware of.)

If payment is not received within 5-7 days after I reply with a total cost and the email address to send a PayPal payment to, or after sending an invoice, the ordered items will be offered to the next person that requests them, so let me know if additional time is required to make a payment. I don't mind holding items longer and only request a small down payment to do so when someone else requests the same items. In practice, I usually contact and give those who have requested an item in the past 14-20 days a chance to purchase the item before offering it to the next person wanting to purchase it, but rather then taking a chance and having your payment returned, it's best to let me know when more then a week is required to complete a purchase.
