I will be selling my G4 cube on ebay but they now require setting up a sellers account which you must give a credit card (thats ok) but also a Bank account number. I dont feel comfortable about giving them the "keys to the kingdom." There is another option in setting up the account and that is to use verisign but you must give your SSN. I feel even less enthused about doing that.
How do others feel about this and is there anywhere else I can sell this puppy.

Regards
Mike

P.S. Anybody wants to by my 450mhz/dvd/radeon cube?

What's the price?

thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, shouting GERONIMO!"

Between $800-$900 (+ S&H) it has 448 meg of memory, radeon video card, office 2001 and tropico. OSX10.1 OS9.2 and all of the restore cds. w/o MS office I was willing to part with it in the 800s. By the way the software is not just loaded on but incldues the actual cds so the buyer would have licensed software.

When In set up an eBay accoutn a few years ago, it only required a CC# - which was no biggie - and a $10 deposit. I definitely would not give them a SSN or Bank Account #; interestingly, eBay does not require current users to spply this info - at least, they haven't sent me an email saying I need to supply it. They may not verify the SSN, so you could make a, uh, mistake when typing it and still get an account.

I agree, I was in the middle of setting a buyers account and after I entered my credit card number (which I can understand) it required my bank account number - I was thinking it was one or the other not both.
The credit card offer some protection in case something happens but not the bank account I could get sucked dry. The alternative is to open a checking account put $5 in there and give ebay that. This seemed too much trouble.
