Could much of this be due to the added cost?  I am expecting/willing to pay a 
small fee for this.

I have not used Paypal in a very long time, and they have caused me some 
headaches in terms of verifying my bank account and then my credit card, so 
that I can use this account, which I have used in the past.  Although I do 
intend to use the CC via Paypal, I expect if I have a problem with the 
seller/item, that I will also get a lot of red-tape with Paypal if I need to 
fight it, so was hoping for something else.  BTW, this is $250.

Cheers,
