[KC2FTN on 6-meters]

Luckily, I've had no problems whatsoever with Paypal, and I use it quite 
frequently. As with anyone or business that accepts credit cards, there is 
the risk of a 'charge back' if a customer for some reason disputes the 
charge(s) on their credit card. The simple answer for Paypal users/sellers 
who don't want to risk this is to simply NOT accept credit card payments via 
Paypal, but instead opt for DIRECT Paypal to Paypal fund transfers. And if 
you're selling high-dollar stuff on eBay such as radios or amplifiers, allow 
your buyers to use eBays 'Financing Available' option. That way, the BUYER 
has to do the application, get approval, and you just sit back and collect 
the funds. Oh wait a minute... we were talking about paying the 6-club dues 
via Paypal... Nevermind.
