[QUOTE="doug444, post: 1986809, member: 38849"]That kind of deal might leave you in a bind, if the group happened to catch you short, and you had to scurry around to find more 90% at unfavorable terms. From my own point of view, I would [B]NEVER[/B] tie myself down to a single source; I'm always watching for distress sales, estate sales, and/or sources I believe to be unsearched, so the last thing in the world I want is to have an obligation to a fixed selling service. Finally, getting the 90% to the Buyers wouldn't be problem-free; you'd have to take 20, 50, or 100 little packages to the Post Office every two weeks, or arrange to hold a group of purchases in your custody, either way a monumental nuisance full of risks to both Buyer and Seller. Plus, I doubt that most people carry enough in their PayPal account to fund regular purchases; I certainly don't. Since they can RAID your account [U]at will[/U] to satisfy the bogus claims of some lying overseas jerk with a Feedback of 3½, I keep the balance at an absolute minimum. I've also written lots of letters to our legislature, asking them to regulate PayPal like a bank ([U]which they ARE[/U]), to prevent such abuses, but no luck so far. That's what PayPal FEARS the most, regulation as a bank.[/QUOTE]
