One or more Minor traders do sell surplus on ebay, but not their main lines.
Paypal takes very large commissions, so apart from ebay I'm happy to keep using plastic of multiple varieties rather than paypal (to limit the amount of my money that gets wasted on charges rather than paying for parts). AFAIK you need plastic money to set up a paypal account anyway.

I've used paypal to pay a German parts supplier and they added a big commission to cover their losses - At the time I was in a rush so didn't care. When looking at the bill, I spent more on shipping and commission than I did for the parts :(

We will be offering Paypal as an option on our new site. The commission is higher than some existing systems but many folk use Paypal on Ebay, so we felt it a wise decision to offer this.

I would carefully check their T&C's before doing so Jonathon and also Google for a site something like "Paypal Sucks". There are literally thousands of people that have been robbed out of money by Paypal.....

Morris Minor Parts, in Bradford on Avon accept paypal. Also, no VAT charges. You can't however order and pay online directly, you need to email an order to him. His website is www.morrisminorpartsbath.co.uk. I've ordered a few parts, prices are good, seems to be quite fast with delivery.
