It's nice to see all the pros and cons written out here (thanks!) but I do want to mention that you don't have to be a PayPal member to pay with a credit card through PayPal. I'm not sure how easy or difficult it is because I have been a member for years, but it is an option. So far PayPal seems to far exceed any benefits Etsy may be offering. You have to wait 3+ days to have access to your money and you have to ship the sold item first? That doesn't make sense to me. I like to have the option to physically hold the money paid for an item before sending it out into the world. I'm not interested in another system where money leaves one persons account and lingers in computer land for days before reaching its destination. Who is reaping that reward? I don't really see anything direct about it. Not from a sellers end at least. Thank you for the chance to vent! :) I would really love to hear some feedback from others who have used this new checkout option.Ashley Anna Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021032656137856371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032468301507136728.post-72813238663194203082012-07-05T12:09:13.186-07:002012-07-05T12:09:13.186-07:00Thanks Even!
