Mickey -
All of your points are well taken, and I am not unaware of them having
bought and sold on ebay over 150 times. One option the seller could have
offered is escrow. I always find that very reassuring, even if I end up
sending a M.O. - it implies that the seller will be confident that the buyer
will be happy.
Ultimately it has to do with buyer confidence. I suspect that when you do
not accept Billpoint or Paypal or escrow transactions, you end up losing
more in lost bids than you would have paid in transaction fees - and with
escrow the seller generally doesn't pay any of the fees.
