Re: eBay going to 100% electronic payments only
I wonder if I buyer could still pay by money order if they contacted the seller through the message system. This is pretty rediculous not that I thin about it.

Re: eBay going to 100% electronic payments only
eBay is also extending it's standard auctions from 7 days to now be 30 days,starting Sept 16th.
It's also lowering the listing fee in hopes of attracting more sellers as well as buyers. I've been having great success so far on our own For Sale/Wanted Classifieds ads sections right here on sYc and Craigslist.com too.Buying & selling with just one flat stated asking price. ...And no associated fees whatsoever.

Re: eBay going to 100% electronic payments only
The main reason Ebay is doing this is because they own Paypal. I would rather use Paypal. I have been using Paypal for over 8 years and have never had a problem. When I signed up for Paypal it was all free and they actually gave you $5 for joining. It's too much trouble to get money orders and a lot of sellers don't like taking checks. As far as the Paypalsucks site posted above, Like with any business, there will always be unhappy people. How many transactions go through Paypal a day without a problem? Let one person have a little trouble and it's all over the net but you never hear about the millions of good transactions. I would be willing to bet that most of the bad transactions that go wrong do so because the one complaining didn't follow all the required steps. I would imagine a lot of companies would love to have the customer service rating that Paypal has.

Re: eBay going to 100% electronic payments only
The reason they are doing it is so the Government knows where the money is coming from and going to, they do not like cash transactions... especially on the scale of ebay...
and on that note I say... NO MORE EBAY!  Now why does every transaction need to be centrally tracked?  I wonder...

Re: eBay going to 100% electronic payments only
Maybe you could get a visa gift card... like from the mall... and use that? I want to know how one would retain any anonymity from God knows who looking at what an individual is buying or selling... very very Orwellian...
Can't have the people trading amongst themselves they must run transactions through us... It's not enough that they get a fee off of all of it... now Pay Pal will be receiving more deposits, and I'll bet that Pay Pal is part of a Bank... somewhere or somehow the money is going through a Bank associated with Pay Pal / Ebay and they are making interest and or are using it as investment capital either way it is just another way for the banks to keep transactions going through them.

[/ QUOTE ] by using your Debit card YOU ARE giving them access to your bank account. Think of it this way, when the different airlines folded (Aloha/ATA and others) if you paid by credit card you had a good chance on getting your $$$ back, A debit card is just like cash, its taken out of your account ASAP and good luck on getting any back. Those that are fighting the airlines who paid with debit/cash were told to stand at the end of the line. guess how i know

Jason [/ QUOTE ] Per eBay, this can be done but they will be watching so the seller does not abuse this privledge. Time for a new auction site to start up and learn from the stupid stuff eBay has done.
