RE: Well, if everyone had not "bought into" PayPal...

As so many apparently have done. I dropped the whole thing about the time that FleaBay bought 'em and stopped accepting anything but PayPal as a way to pay for goods. And this clearly contravenes federal law.

What federal law is that, specifically?

You can also accept credit/debit card payments on eBay so I don't know what you mean by they stopped accepting anything but PayPal as a way to pay for goods.

Take a $1 bill out of your pocket. Look at it. Do you see the phrase "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private."? Why have the feds allowed FleaBay/PayPal to get away with this?

Get away with what? When you transact on PayPal, you are transacting in US dollars. What, you only want to accept payment from people stupid enough to send you cash in the mail? Do you live in Nigeria or something?

I refuse to use PayPal and their usurious 3.5% transaction tax...

Where do you get 3.5%? For domestic sales it's 2.9% of the sale plus 30 cents per transaction.
