Payment options for purchases


If a seller accepts Visa/MC are you more likely to buy from them than if they only accepted paypal or Money Orders?

I have the option, but I never knew if people were interested in that.

Am I more likely to encounter fraud?

Yes you'll get more buyers for the higher priced items. there are a lot of impulse buys from people who have some money in their pocket but not enough to meet the selling price. I would accept it, ask the credit card issuer about how to protect against fraud. Any number of fraudulent payments are possible according to what I've heard about ebay etc. Probably the best way is to sell to people who have a good reputation that you can check on i.e. references etc.
