Paying for Your Online Auction Purchase By Ina Steiner
AuctionBytes.com June 03, 2000
What's the best way to pay for your online auction purchase? It depends on the preferences of the individual buyer, but most methods available are pretty attractive from the buyer's point of view. Take a look at a chart comparing the common payment methods, including services such as ProPay and PayPal, at http://www.auctionbytes.com/Email_Newsletter/Email_Graphics/Buychart/buychart.html
The costs, pro and con columns are quite different when taken from the seller's point of view - luckily sellers can dictate the methods they choose to accept. I'll have more information on online payment systems from the seller's point of view in a future issue.
