I never used PayPal other than to purchase something until twelve days ago to sell a vintage NOS motorcycle part to a guy in Australia. PayPal put the buyer's payment into a hold until he received the item because I had never sold anything via PayPal. He received the item in ten days USPS shipping ($95) and the very next day I had the choice of a bank transfer or leave the money in PayPal.............easy, peezy! I guess the next best alternative to PayPal that I'm surprised no one has mentioned it $$$CASH$$$
