He and a LOT of his ebay seller friends no longer use paypal. You don't have to use your credit card with PayPal. You can use a dedicated checking account to write electronic checks from. This is probably the best solution anyhow,since a account dedicated to E-Bay would naturally only have a budgeted amount of money in it,and there is no way you could wake up one morning penniless.

Thanks for the info SP....I was maily talking about bidders who pay Paypal with credit cards then do chargebacks.
Just a tip/suggestion on your 46'. You maybe should have jacked it up and gotten a photo or two of the frame if it is nice and solid. I know from reading your posts that you are man of your word and that if you say that it's a good parts car, or would be good for a recreation of an ol' style stock car, I believe you, but man, it is rough looking in that photo.
Good luck. I have bought some parts on ebay but no whole cars. Did you go and look at the ones you bought (or have someone look at them for you). I know a guy around here who buys late model Mustang 5.0's and fancies them up with new tires and accesories and HP engine mods (chips, exhaust, etc) and then puts them on ebay...he does "OK" usually and makes a few bucks (though not enough for his time & effort IMHO), but I am amazed that people who pay 10K to the low 20's for his cars and never come and see them or have them evaluated by a local mechanic. They just arrange for shipping and he sends them down the road.
