My rants and raves

Wednesday, March 15, 2006

I've bought/sold on eBay for several years to get a rating of 385. After not posting an auction for the last year I posted 6 last week. Got 5 of them (missed the sixth in eBay motors, which I edited) cancelled for 3 different reasons. First for accepting (soliciting as they called it) cash. Second for offering Western Union (didn't know they were out of business as BidPay anyway) online auction payments. Again cash as they called it. Third I get this letter:

However, your listing was in violation of eBay's Paypal Payments policy.
Your listing(s) contained the following information:
Sorry, NO credit/debit cards thru PayPal
Sorry, NO credit/debit cards thru PayPal
Sorry, NO credit/debit cards thru PayPal
Sorry, NO credit/debit cards thru PayPal
Sorry, NO credit/debit cards thru PayPal

Sellers who offer PayPal as a payment option in the listing process must accept all forms of PayPal payment, without restriction.

For example, it is *not* permitted to state:

"I only accept cash transfers with PayPal (no credit cards)"
"I only accept payments with PayPal over $15"

Sellers must have a Premier or Business PayPal Account or be willing to upgrade from a Personal PayPal Account to a Premier or Business Account if sellers receive a credit card payment. Sellers may not communicate to buyers that they accept, or will not accept, specific forms of PayPal payment.

Please be aware that you are not required to use PayPal as an accepted form of payment for your listings. However, we hope that you will realize the protection and convenience that PayPal offers.


So fuck eBay and PayPal. I'm looking for other avenues to sell. Will start right here at base.google.com
