    Default Please post means of payment accepted in Classified

    Just a suggestion from a relatively noob, but it would be helpful if those who listed razors and such for sale would mention the means of payment accepted--if s/he accepted paypal or money order or e-check or whatever only or other preferred means of payment in the ads. While this might seem obvious, it isn't particularly clear for buyers from some non-US sellers and many US sellers who, judging from various posts, don't like PayPal--although it does afford the buyer some protections. For the buyer it's also easier to know upfront what's needed before hitting the buy it button and then learning a visit to the PO or whatever is needed. No big deal, but maybe a courtesy?.

    Just my .02.

    Thanks

    Hitting the buy-it button, if available, takes the buyer to paypal, no to a choice of options.

    Just contact the seller and ask them what methods of payment do they take.

    Paypal is the accepted means of payment here. I never encountered anyone who didn't have it.
    It's pretty much mandatory in an international community.

    Also if you have any questions or concerns, contact the seller.
    You probably want to do this anyway to discuss shipping etc.

    Eric tried to get away from it, but it was only a month before he caved

    PS I also think it is a courtesy when buyers specify in the ad what sort of payments they will accept

    I've encountered sellers who don't have PayPal, Not a big deal, usually the seller tells you what he/she accepts before you agree to purchase,

    Although I do agree PP is MUCH easier.... I can understand why some don't want to use it
