FREE: Christmas Cards: the Holy Family (Set of 3)

GREAT news for you: you don't need to use PayPal on Listia! As long as the item you are bidding on is FREE SHIPPING, you don't need money. At no time do you store a payment method in your Listia account. The only time you need to provide payment is if the auction asks you to pay for shipping. Should you win that auction, you will be asked to send payment via PayPal. That is when you supply that information.

Some sellers will allow you to use alternate forms of shipping payment. I would ask each seller BEFORE you bid if mailing shipping costs is ok with them. If you assume that it's ok, you could end up with a negative rating if you don't follow through with PayPal. Be upfront prior to bidding and you should be fine. That's how I operate. THIS AUCTION IS FREE, so feel free to bid.

Verifying your address is not connected to PayPal, either, and is very easy. Visit this address: http://www.listia.com/account/addresses Essentially, your "verified" address is you storing your shipping address in your Listia account. This way you don't ever have to re-type it, and it will automatically be filled in when you supply your information after winning.
