THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Or put another way, what is the most popular form of payment other than PayPal? My PayPal account has been locked ever since I did a raffle for one of my custom knives for the USO. They say I'm a Non-Profit and are unwilling to change the status back to what it was. This has gone on for two years now.

USPS money order is the most popular. But like everything it has its drawbacks. (time to get to post office, have to cash it somewhere, fakes are out there, etc)
But they can be verified quite easily and you don't get much hassel when trying to cash them.

I have some high dollar gear that I want to post for sale and I want the buyer to know he has some protection. I've looked at my Chase bank account and anyone can send me payment through that for free and it's secure. The drawback is that they would have to register with Chase (for free) but you don't have to be an account holder with Chase. I guess I'll throw both options out there and let them choose. Thanks for your replies.

Just to let you know. There would be a 0% chance of me sending you money through chase bank with your feedback and post count on this site. I would, however PayPal you the money as a goods payment.

I have done that Chase scam once, as a favor to a buyer and I would never do it again.

Pain in the ass to set up, pain in the ass to transfer money and they make it nearly impossible to close it.

Then they spam the crap out of your email, with offers and requests to be a Chase customer.

It validates the reason I left Bank One, right before Chase bought them out.

Fair enough. I'm still working on PayPal. They don't seem to call anyone back.

Thanks for that info Dog1. I can mark that off the "potential" list. I haven't had any problems with Chase yet. I left Compass Bank for Chase because they were horrible here in Texas. While on tour in A-Stan someone got a hold of my bank info in France and spent around $1000. Chase shut it down and sent me emails. My account was restored within a few days and they gave me 1 year of Identity Protection on top of that. I'm very thankful of Chase Bank. I guess my best bet is to go through ebay. I have an outstanding account there but haven't used it since PayPal got commie on me.

PayPal and Ebay have been restored! Crye CPC is already sold! I'll start listing some cool stuff in the Exchange here.
