[meteorite-list] Sellers, would you like to keep more of your money?

[Greg Catterton]

A personal/private transaction I dont think would be considered as commercial. I think they are more concerned with ebay deals then off ebay transactions.
It does clearly state under the personal are for sending payments that there is a thing to click for money owed.
Thanks for pointing that out.
