All that said, I would never buy anything on eBay without using a

have told me different, that they have to pay something like 2% no
matter what. I thought you could get the funds transferred into your
bank account for free. No?

With a "personal" paypal account, there is no fee for sellers receiving payment
except from a credit card sourcewhere it is 3.4% + $0.30 per transaction. A
merchant account doesn't see those fess, but get to pay a monthly fee instead.
I'm sure DonMc has one of those, so he would know what the recurrent cost is.

I live in a big town (Brisbane) but my bank is Adelaide Bank - they have no presence in QLD. I've been banking with them for over 12 years and they are the only bank I have account with. In that time I never had need to drive to their branch, I do BPay for most of my bills, I transfer money from my account into peoples accounts in other banks (plenty of times to Ebay sellers) using my computer and internet banking. Before internet I used telephone.

If you have Ebay then you don't need to drive to the bank, you can do your banking online.

I HAVE A SUPER THICK MASSIVE DICK which towers over the side of Rod
Speed's puny knob.

From
http://www.cnet.com.au/broadband/adsl/0,239035934,339288102,00.htm

Telstra has announced it has finished switching on ADSL2+ at over 900
exchanges to give 2.4 million Australians a theoretical maximum downlink
speed of up to 20 Mbps.

Load of shit PARKY!

Earlier this year, Broadband Minister Stephen Conroy gave the telco the
regulatory assurances it needed to switch on the ADSL2+ network, according
to the company.

However, according to the CEO of the Competitive Carriers Coalition, Dave
Forman, the company's decision to switch on the exchanges did not spring
from the Minister's assurances but from the desire to rebuild its
relationship with the government ahead of the planned rollout of the
national fibre-to-the node (FTTN) broadband network.

Load of shit!

Since February, 907 exchanges have been switched on, Telstra's group MD of
public policy and communications Phil Burgess said, taking some 64 days.

The popular opinion that "all you had to do was flick a switch" is wrong,
said Burgess, adding that although Telstra had the DSLAMs already in place,
it had to dig holes, get personnel to them, decommission old lines and
connect new lines, requiring a massive transfer of resources.

Burgess hopes the rollout will act as a precursor to a future role in the
country's fibre-to-the-node network. "Does it relate to FTTN? Absolutely it
does," Burgess said.

Despite speeds of 20Mbps, Australia is still behind, Burgess said: "This is
great in Australia, but. the rest of the world is going to 100Mbps."

If Australia doesn't wake up, "we're going to be in bad trouble," he added.

When asked how Telstra wanted to achieve 100Mbps, Burgess said the company
was looking at VDSL, saying that under the right conditions it can go up to
100Mbps, and said that FTTN laid the basis for fibre-to-the-home.

"It's all a matter of money," he said.

Load of shit! It's all a matter of VOTES!

It is to be hoped that the ACCC will put the kybosh on these new Ebay
proposalas. My main objection is that after 17 June EBay sellers will no longer
be able to offer payment by direct bank deposit - at least not as part of items
offered for sale. However, there is no way that Ebay can stop anyone from paying
for items by direct bank deposit via other on-line methods permitted by their
banking organisation. They are only going to shoot themselves in the foot on
this one.

I will be simply charging a $10 (or whatever is suitable based on the
approximate value) handling fee (to cover these losses) on top. The
fee will be waived for cash/pickup.

(please note that any postage/handling component of the sale paid
through Paypal will also incur the Paypal fee.)

Maybe then offering a "pick up service" (payment by bank account but
worded so as not to break the rules) to those that dont live locally.

However, there might not be that many selling things though after this
starts to bite people, this will begin a downward self-feeding spiral
of "less on offer, less people look, less people buy less buyers even
less sellers (start again at beginning)" situation. With the slow
reduction of spending in the general economy at present due to rising
interest rates, massive size mortgage debts compared to the past, this
all is only going to make it worse for Ebay.
(and evernone else)

When selling, I want nothing to do with paypal. I don't believe in
paying fees to pay for things.

Ebay have carefully organised their "Contact us" facility specifically to

would be directed to anyone who could provide meaningful answers either.

Is my only option, therefore, to carry around a big car battery and an
inverter?

** You can get fairly small car batteries - or chose from a wide range of
SLA batteries that are not too heavy to carry about. The inverter you would
need to deliver 60 watts max is tiny.

Stop being a whining twat, check out the 12 volt battery situation and pick
one that suits - then you can run most any small SS amp you like.

[-=Spudley=-]

68 Watts is the specified power consumption of the AMP.
Assuming 80% efficiency of a decent inverter he probably needs a 100 Watt
inverter to run the amp at 240 VAC off SLA batteries, that's a decent load
100/12 = 8.3 AMP/Hour
If he wishes to busk for more than an hour or so he would need to get some
large SLA batteries to accommodate, and as the weight increases with AH
rating of those batteries he could be up for quite a haul.
