[GreenKeys] Current eBay bids for HAL ST-8000A

[David Bonamo]

eBay never required me to accept PayPal when I list items, I do however, in 
fact it is an option when you list.  This seller apparently left the box 
checked when he listed his auction.

Could cause issues for him if the winning bidder wants to use PayPal and he 
refuses.  Also he has a flat rate shipping but the auction is set to 
calculate, depending on how close the bidder is from the seller the 
calculated rate may be cheaper.  This again can cause issues for the seller.
