I am seriously thinking of going with this 5-day period thing in case the
credit card has been nicked. I have only sold pretty low value stuff (I
think the highest value of something I sold was 125 but I had no idea that
the bidding would go that high when I started). It's just that Paypal and a
credit card makes it almost too easy for people to spend which is a good
thing when you are selling
