i am not a firm believer in the rule, maybe for a seller it will protect us, but so what if someone new wants to buy sumthin, us members cannot lose out in any way, i say let the noobs buy, but stick to the rule for selling ?????
and yes, paypal is the normal way to pay someone, although i have done money orders also, just dont ship till the money is in p.p., or m.o. is cashed
just pm whoever it is that has the parts you want, then it will be their own personal decision to sell or abide by a rule that does nothing
