eBay Bans All Online Payment Services Except PayPal! - GoFuckYourself.com

pradaboy · 10-26-2005, 03:49 AM

This won't make them popular! They revised the TOS to include sections that boil down to them only allowing PayPal for online payment. Western Union, Moneygram and other online services are not allowed to be offered at auctions anymore.

Shitty deal IMO, maybe Google will start an auction site so they can build the Google Wallet services.

SmokeyTheBear · 10-26-2005, 04:03 AM

i never trusted them once they were together with paypal..

The Ghost · 10-26-2005, 04:10 AM

I'm selling my Ebay stock. I should have sold a loooong time ago

u-Bob · 10-26-2005, 04:33 AM

who cares? ebay sucks big time.

Screaming · 10-26-2005, 05:24 AM

Not shocking at all.

hova · 10-26-2005, 05:27 AM

I was waiting for this to happen

Theo · 10-26-2005, 05:31 AM

not good move

$5 submissions · 10-26-2005, 05:33 AM

Damn... I'm sure this will hurt many people. Time to move to paypal

Or having a yard sale

cool1 · 10-26-2005, 07:26 AM

I think they are crazy to do that.

Ace-wtf · 10-26-2005, 07:29 AM

google is going to crush these guys

Basic_man · 10-26-2005, 07:30 AM

It's only a rumor... And yes, Google will probably build something like eBay one day.

warlock5 · 10-26-2005, 07:30 AM

This is actually good for their competition.

Is anyone really surprised? Corporate philosophy these days takes exactly zero consideration of what customers want - they know they have a monopoly and their huge hardcore fan-base won't be going anywhere. It's just milking more profits, as always.

pawsregd · 10-26-2005, 08:04 AM

Saw that coming

Vitasoy · 10-26-2005, 08:20 AM

Ebayers have no choice but to follow suit

~Ray · 10-26-2005, 08:20 AM

no more WU/BidPay scammers

DateDoc · 10-26-2005, 08:34 AM

While it may make them more money in the short run it is bound to hurt them in the long run. Just wait for a few BIG PowerSellers to get their PayPal account locked down because a few people complained and then there 1000s of running auctions have no way being completed.

Sosa · 10-26-2005, 08:38 AM

Might as well keep the money into your own companies. Ebay Fees, Paypal Fees, might as well take it all.

Elli · 10-26-2005, 09:58 AM

Maybe they lost their merchant account. ;)

4Pics · 10-26-2005, 11:59 AM

it's a good thing, too many scammers used other online payment sources.

Also, most people pay with paypal or mail a money order/check anyway.

RawAlex · 10-26-2005, 12:55 PM

That makes ebay now totally useless for selling domains - I would never sell a domain any other way except for escrow.com with the 1 day view period. Too many easy simple ways to stiff someone with paypal.

My forecast: expect ebay stock to rise slightly, then start a slow but steady fall down to about half the current price as the number of sellers and buyers diminish with these new rules.

you can't stiff someone with paypal. i've disputed 3 claims with them in the pass and got my money back on all. once you report someone to paypal for not shipping they freeze the other persons account and they also have access to that persons checking/cc to refund back any money too.

phonesex · 10-26-2005, 01:09 PM

well eBay owns paypal so if paypal locked down an account on a PowerSeller then they'd be shooting themselves in the foot.. Won't happen.

I beg to differ, if someone cleans out their account immediately they cannot take any action. I've lost money this way at least three times so don't tell me you can't get stiffed with PayPal.

adultchica · 10-26-2005, 01:19 PM

Paypal/Ebay is greedy and to me they are a monopoly. They will do what they can to stamp out all the competition. They lose a lot of business that way.

milking max profits. absolutely normal practice. they are selling their stocks anyway

Veterans Day · 10-26-2005, 01:27 PM

you people crack me up, its about as funny as saying if gas hits 5 dollars a gallon people will stop driving.
