Selling on Audiogon

Any members here sell their equipment using PayPal? I'm trying to sell for the first time (instead of buying) and being told I need a "Merchant I.D. # ". PayPal tells me they don't issue those to non-business's, yet Audiogon says you have to have one to use PayPal for selling. I'm at a loss here. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Just go to your PayPal account settings, grab your merchant ID and add it to your Audiogon account.

You can obtain one at PayPal.

P.s. And thanks for the link. I didn't realize what a mess this is now after reading all the posts.
