Mike- I have been sending checks out of necessity, but that's not the best option for me. Here's why: I have a credit card for my business (I pay it off every month, so I carry no balance). That gives me a convenient statement with all of my purchases. I can use it to pay for auctions through Paypal, which is quick and safe, and I can do ALL my business at the computer, very convenient. And, I earn miles for every dollar.
For sellers who refused Paypal, Bidpay was the next best thing for the same reasons mentioned above. That's why I'm looking for another secure online m.o. provider where I can use the credit card.
