Use the Paypal option with BBbay! i set up my PayPal account originally to buy from *Ebay,* but it's turned out to be very useful most everywhere. i take PayPal on my web site, too, for things i sell. If you are wondering how they make their money, this is how: they take a couple days getting your money from your PayPal account into your bank account. They probably make those huge overnight loans that banks do. Wacky concept, but it works. PayPal has turned out to be VERY safe for consumers. If you don't have a credit card, but do have a US bank account, you can set it up with that. Or, if you *do* have a credit card, you can use that to set up your PayPal account and begin using it immediately. i have always used my PayPal for the BBay folks (no WAY am i going to fax a copy of my credit card ANYWHERE!) and Sherry has alway responded in about 2 to 4 hours. Not instant, but darned fast. Quite acceptable for me. Or, if that isn't fast enough, as they have been saying in this thread, call them. Finding a combo store/merchant account that doesn't cost the earth and will deal with soft merchandise is tough. Kagi is one, Digital River is another--but it costs. Merchants do what they can. True, the BBay verification statement is rather off-putting, but i bet they could spin it so that it sounded less negative. (It's not, really.)
