Jerry,

    I no longer sell on eBay but for several years I did sell some of my
    Antique and Estate jewelry there. I have a 100% positive feedback of
    approximately 550. My eBay ID is 

    <Snip - Sorry No eBay IDs or Links on Orchid> 

    if you would like to check it. 

    I do take PayPal on my website at www.demarkjewelry.com because I
    can control the amount I charge for my items but I only took Money
    orders and Checks on eBay because of the fees involved. 

    There is a group of people that buy items on eBay that are rare and
    collectable and are willing to pay a fair price for these items but
    my experience was that most buyers are looking for that infamous
    great deal. 

    It is very difficult as a seller to sell an item, pay the listing
    fees, final value fees and then pay a PayPal fee and make any money
    on an item unless people are lining up to give me free merchandise to
    sell. 

    My point here is that just because a person does not take PayPal on
    eBay does not make them a dealer that should not be trusted. 

    The key to eBay is to find the dealers that have a good track record
    of positive feedback and read the complete auction copy. Avoid anyone
    that is not upfront such as hiding shipping fees or other charges or
    who supplies no photos or fuzzy photos.
