Now you can only check 1 out of all accepted payment methods. It would make sense if more then one could be selected. For example I would accept PayPal and Money Order etc.

Hi arunasd,
You can always choose "Custom" and add as many payment options as you desire.
With all this talk about keeping price as a part of the listing, I would like to suggest against it being locked in. Once a sale is made, the item AND THE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT ITEM, is now the property, and quite possibly the implied privacy, of someone other than the original poster.
I am a firm believer that once I sell an item to someone, it's no one else's business as to what I was asking for it, or where it was sold to and/or for how much. That is why once I have sold items on boards such as these, I go in and remove the pricing completely. If my buyer wants to broadcast what he is doing and how much he is spending, that's his personal business to do, not mine.
Why are folks still asking for paypal gift payments, when Fred asked that this not be used? Why can't everyone put a price on something including paypal fees etc. with exception of shipping charges. Out here in real world its illegal to charge upcharge of any kind on credit card purchase period. Part of cost of doing business is it not?
I like to put a TON of pictures in my B/S threads. Usually I'll upload pictures to Flickr and then just link the photos into the thread.
Is there a way to do this with the new system? I'm trying to make a post to sell three lenses at the moment and I'm finding the 4 picture limit quite restricting.

The person receiving the money gets charged, not the guy paying. This is exactly how it works in the real world.

All your URL links go in the description field. You can add as many image links as you would like.

This is a direct Fred quote:
"Ultimately, this decision is yours and I will not enforce it. If you still decide to use Paypal gift, be aware of the risks. "
He,rightly so,made everyone aware of the risks involved.
I personally like to have the choice as a buyer or as a seller to have that choice.
I you don't (like the choice),then this is your choice not necessarily everyone's.
Maybe this has been mentioned, but could you add a button that the user can tag for "watched items", so for example if I want to watch someone's 135mm lens that is for sale, there would be a button on the ad just like the "get email notification", and it would turn on a button that I could see when I'm looking through the B&S board.
It would be just like your red, blue, green buttons, but it would be a "tag" flag.
I hope that makes sense. There are items that I sometimes want to 'tag' but not necessarily buy, and this would be a way to do that without adding a tag comment to the thread.

I see what you mean Michelle.
We could add a little "flag icon" before a thread's subject line when the member seeing the threads flags it.
Ultimatlely we could use the board's "Filter" not only for "FS", "WTB", "Canon", "Nikon", etc., but for "New threads", "Updated threads", "Price reduced threads", "Sold threads", "Flagged threads", "Pending threads", "Withdrawn threads"...
