so...IT'S ALL THE SAME TO YOU IN TERMS OF WHEN & HOW WE SHIP YOUR STUFF!  E-check IS OFTEN MUCH CHEAPER, FEE-WISE FOR US! 

THIS NEW SHIPPING POLICY IS PART OF OUR ETERNAL EFFORT TO BRING YOU THE VERY BEST DEALS ON EBAY!

This policy is expressly intended to equalize the buyer's choice of PayPal funding sources; to "EXACTLY level the playing field" so to speak.  Any objection by PayPal and/or eBay to this legal wording placed on my listings will be considered by me to be a breach of contract and, in my lawyer's opinion, would constitute a clear violation of the U.S. Federal Banking regulations which limit the handling fee that financial institutions such as PayPal may charge to $5.00 maximum on any U.S. bank check clearing regardless of the amount and whether the check is electronic, paper or otherwise.  Interference with interstate commerce and restraint of free trade will be cited as well in the Federal criminal complaint and civil lawsuit I will file immediately should eBay or PayPal make even the slightest negative comment regarding this shipping policy at any time.  A common respect for both the spirit and the letter of the applicable State and Federal laws and a basic sense of eBay good will and fairness will prevail, I pray. Otherwise, eBay and PayPal will be prosecuted under the Federal Organized Crime Rico Statutes and other applicable laws and regulations and sued for damages and emotional distress and civil rights violations with malicious pecuniary intent in the Federal District Court of my choosing.  Thank you eBay-PayPal for all the recent improvements!

*3 BANKING DAYS (72 HOURS, SUNDAYS AND BANK HOLIDAYS NOT INCLUDED) IS THE MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWED BY FEDERAL LAW FOR ELECTRONIC CHECKS AND WIRE TRANSFERS TO CLEAR.  NORMALLY, THE ACTUAL CLEARING PROCESS TAKES ONLY MILLISECONDS WITHIN THE U.S.A., SINCE ELECTRONS, PHOTONS AND MICROWAVES CONTINUE TO MOVE AT PROPAGATION VELOCITIES VERY NEAR THE SPEED OF LIGHT.  THE REMAINING 71.999 HOURS ALLOWED BY LAW IS THERE TO PROVIDE TIME FOR DATA ENTRY AND I.R.S., F.B.I., SECRET SERVICE, C.I.A. and N.S.A. ANTI-TERRORIST, ANTI-TAX-FRAUD and ANTI-CRIME SECURITY-RECORD-KEEPING MEASURES.

FINALLY, TO MAKE UP FOR PAYPAL/EBAY'S PAST OBFISCATION OF, DISRESPECT FOR AND GENERAL ABUSE AND HIDING FROM VIEW OF THE E-CHECK FUNDING METHOD, WHICH THEY WERE REQUIRED BY THEIR FORMATIVE LEGAL BANKING CHARTER TO OFFER BUT WHICH THEY CLEARLY DISCOURAGED BY GRACELESSLY REMOVING LISTINGS WHICH ATTEMPTED TO MOTIVATE BUYERS TOWARD E-CHECK USAGE AND EVEN HID E-CHECK DETAILS FROM VIEW ON THE PUBLIC PAYPAL WEB PAGES, EBAY AND PAYPAL SHOULD RIGHTFULLY REFUND EVERY CENT OF FEES BEYOND $5.00 (PER PAYPAL INSTANT PAYMENT RECEIVED) TO EVERY SELLER WHO SUFFERED UNDER PAYPAL'S COLLUSION WITH EBAY TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE (INCLUDING ILLEGAL, DEVIOUS, DECEPTIVE AND FRAUDULENT TACTICS IN MY OPINION) TO DISCOURAGE THE USE OF E-CHECKS.  ONLY THAT REMEDY, ENACTED AND PAID IMMEDIATELY TO EVERY QUALIFYING EBAY SELLER, WILL CAUSE ME TO REMOVE THIS VERBAGE FROM MY LISTINGS.  ANY REMOVAL, EDITING, COVERT DISCOURAGEMENT OR OVERT BANNING OF THIS MESSAGE OR ANY OF MY FUTURE LISTINGS THAT IS ENACTED BY EBAY WILL BE CONSIDERED AS FURTHER PROOF OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR AND FURTHER GROUNDS FOR CIVIL LIABILITY AND MONETARY DAMAGES. 

LET US NOW SEE HOW "LEVEL A PLAYING FIELD" EBAY/PAYPAL TRULY WANTS.  ANY EBAY SELLER MAY FREELY COPY AND POST THIS TEXT (the fine print only).
