    I wasn't aware if selling on ebay, you can refuse to accept paypal. I'm unable to turn it off when selling, so how can he 'refuse' it. And when paying by paypal (through ebay) you don't have the option of sending as family. I have no idea what you or he are on about. But good luck with it.

    Do pinballs hold value over inflation? Maintenance fees high I know that. But if maintenance is done is it a worthwhile purchase better than holding cash.

    I wasn't aware if selling on ebay, you can refuse to accept paypal. I'm unable to turn it off when selling, so how can he 'refuse' it. And when paying by paypal (through ebay) you don't have the option of sending as family. I have no idea what you or he are on about. But good luck with it.
