The BIN feature doesn't mean, 'professional eBay seller' to me, but rather, 'this is what I want for this item, but I'll take less if no one snatches it up'.
I use BIN frequently - even to the point where I will display the auctions by 'newest' just to grab it first if someone posts a BIN auction with a low BIN $
Shoddy packaging comes from all sorts of people - that's what looking at feedbacks is for
Oh, and I too offer to pay extra to double box items I'm especially afraid of breaking during transit.
Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

Puppy: No I didn't know the BIN went...but what I don't know is endless.. Appreciate the help.
Mrs M...I'd buy anything from you.....
Sorry I'm late with the reply - had to make up a batch of Pierogi for dinner.
Is there a spelling checker buried in this program I haven't found yet? mory

There's another good reason to use Paypal apart from the ones mentioned. Because I'm in the UK and often buy from the US, I always use Paypal for these - getting a cheque in dollars is expensive and time consuming.
With Paypal I just click and it takes the right amount of money out of my account - instant!
If it wasn't for Paypal I wouldn't use eBay very much (which would be sad, because it gives me a great deal of fun!)

Well, that was a clear verdict for PayPal, from both buyers and sellers.
So apparently I am just the odd ball. Oh well, I was just wondering how everyone else felt.
I'm an individual seller and I've listed BIN auctions when I want to sell an item and I want to sell it quick. I also do it if I know I won't get much more than x-amount for it and don't want to wait a week for someone to nibble at it.
I also prefer to bid on auctions that accept Paypal. I will not bid if it's a small amount and I have to buy a money order to pay for it. If they don't accept Paypal but they will accept a personal check I'll bid if I'm not in a hurry for the item. I have my L.L. Bean credit card attached to my Paypal account. Whenever possible, that's what I use for my ebay purchases because I earn points on my card. For every so-much spent, I earn a $10 coupon towards L.L. Bean. I like Paypal because it's instant and it **usually** means my item will be shipped within a day or two of receipt of payment. I say usually because there's the occasional seller who still feels the need to wait for a credit card payment to clear (?). Don't ask. That was a seller from hell who did that to me. lol
I haven't noticed ebay shoving Paypal down my throat. Then again, since I have it and I use it often maybe I don't get the advertisements like the original poster does.

Don't worry, geekline, you're not so much of an oddball. I see auctions all the time with notes from the seller saying "I do NOT accept Paypal".
I'm always tempted to email them and tell them they've just lost my bid (whether I was really planning to bid or not), because I doubt they realize that bidders will actually go away over something like that. But then, chances are they've got very good reasons for their opinion, so why bother? Paypal certainly doesn't pay me to be their ambassador...

I did just that on an item LIKE one I'm thinking of listing. The item is an OLD electric guitar, current bid at $1000 plus. I didn't tell the seller why I was asking or that I really wasn't interested in bidding, I just asked why no PayPal? He said since the item was big ticket, he didn't want to pay the big resulting PayPal fee.
I'm inclined to allow PayPal, even for the big ticket items...unless someone on here would like to convince me otherwise?

If it were me, I would DEFINITELY want to have the protection of Paypal or someone else on a transaction that big. Just raise your minimum bid to compensate for the fee! That's what your friendly neighborhood grocery store/gas station/department store does!
Just don't try tacking on a fee for ONLY Paypal users -- that's not legal, the way I hear it.
