[ForSale-Swap] eBay and PayPal

[John Geiger]

Given that 95% of what is listed for sale on here will
be shipped sooner or later, different shipping methods
and problems with each seems like a valid discussion. 
Same for how well paypal works and if you can get
money back from them in case of a bad deal.  Probably
50% or so of the stuff sold on here is paid for with
paypal.

To make everyone else happy, I have a yaesu VX2R I
will sell for the right price.
