However, slamming any breeder with a Paypal link on their site, when it is the most trusted way to send money when dealing with buyers and other breeders that live far away, is just wrong. It allows insurance for the buyer and allows the seller to keep that money in a separate account until the transaction is completed. I bring this up because I offer it on my OWN website for deposits on pups for the convenience of buyers. I don't charge them the extra 3% I am losing to offer the service. Buyers have the ability to check on any complaints that have been made against the Seller, as well as put their own rating in.
I am not saying that it can't be abused, like just about anything else in today's world. I only bring it up because you are steering new members looking for information away from many reputable breeders by lumping everyone into one basket. That is unfair and inaccurate.

Thank you! EXCELLENT POINT! I do not offer PayPal or credit cards, but only because I don't make enough money off my babies to justify the 3% credit card expense. I would hate to see a concerned, caring, diligent, educated (reputable) breeder be avoided because of something as simple as a PayPal account. Look for other, more telling, more realistic red flags!
