Sounds ssorta like when I was looking to buy a Mavica. Somewere down there I
won a bid. His ad said Visa Pay Pal ect. When we began discussing shipping
and totals he said "send me a check
" I asked about Pay Pal and all he wanted to hear was Money Order.
I droped the sale and never heard from him or Ebay.
GEORGE!!
