After being almost swindeled I am again relisting my GE for sale on  ebay.

You do realize, don't you, that as a seller you have recourse against non-paying buyers? You just have to file a complaint with eBay. They can force the buyer to pay under threat of closing their account or imposing punitive measures against them. See link.

Furthermore, for most items, eBay does not allow payments via mailed money orders or money orders through instant, point-to-point cash transfer services (that are not banks) such as Western Union or MoneyGram. They have forced all sellers to take PayPal payments only in most cases. The reason they state for this is "This policy helps to create a successful shopping and selling experience by encouraging online payment methods that are safe, easy to use, and offer strong protections for members." That kinda sounds like b.S. to me -- my suspicious mind tells me it's to make more money from sellers by charging fees for using PayPal. Especially since it appears they also no longer allow sellers to take personal checks (refer to link below).
