[SEL] ot ebay

[Russell Gilbert]

Hi Arnie, and others. A very noticeable thing in discriptions on 
ozzie ebay is that we (many users) all write NO PAypal payments 
excepted from Ozzie users. It really just eats to much into the 
bottom line. I do agree that it can make things work (completing 
transactions) real fast but time is not an issue for me. I'm like 
Peter I think. Will just simply reduce the activity I have with ebay.

At the end of the day most stuff I get from ebay is not gear I really 
need to have.
