    eBay Revises Payments Policy, Forbids Google Purchase

    Now, this is intresting.

    The eBay Accepted Payments Policy has been suddenly revised. Be sure to click on the "Some Examples" section. You'll find that some very well known payment processors, like cardserviceinternational.com (CSI) are not allowed to be used under this ludcrious policy.

    And guess what? Google Checkout is listed as one that cannot be used too. (So is ePassporte, heh).

    Its really about time for eBay to get some meaningful competition.

                I never thought I'd see the day where Canadian Tire Money was accepted over something like CardServiceInternational or ePassporte, lol.

                    I just don't get it. Does CT have an online payment program? Or are we talking stuffing and envelope full of 10 cent CT bills and mailing it out?

                            Dear Google,

                            We just wanted to pass on a suggestion that we think Google should get involved in. And NOW the timing is more perfect than ever.

                            Google Auctions.

                            You already have the platform... and I think it would be a huge success. Ebay will be raising their fees as of Feb 18th and thousands are getting involved in "No Listing Week" on eBay from Feb 18-25th.

                            But we need an alternative... perhaps this is where our favorite company... Google comes in.

                            Please do it...


                            Sincerely,

                            (URL)

                              I dont like Google much at all, but I was really looking forward to them giving PayPal a run for thier money. Both of them need some competition for the good of everyone.

                              But the best part is this:

                              Sellers may not ask buyers to send cash through instant cash transfer services (non-bank, point-to-point cash transfers) such as Western Union or Moneygram.
                              Oh, and like Paypal, too? PayPal is NOT a bank though it operates [in violation of federal law] like one. Funny how its OK for PayPal to do it, but ePassporte is banned when they do it. And as much as ePassporte bugs me, I think its a safer place to put money than PayPal.

                                    google sucks. none of their services are even innovative. do they dominate anything else other than search engines?

                                    Paypal has been around forever. No one is going to be touching them. Look at all the shitty payment services out there. The only reason anyone uses anything but Paypal is to do transactions not offered by Paypal. To pay online casinos, adult shit, scamming, money laundering, etc.

                                      So.. if you have an eBay listing and you list several types of payment accepted, you can?t list epassporte (and the others listed) as options? Like? you can?t say on there you accept Paypal, Money Order, and all their ?accepted payment systems?, then have ?Epassporte available upon request?. If not, ebay is a fucking nazi.

                                          Epassporte isn't safe for consumers. Wait until someone scams you when you pay them with Epass. There is nothing you can do. eBay isn't pulling some nazi shit, they're looking out for the consumer.

                                                  I didn't ask about that in my post. I asked if you put PayPal first and said UPON REQUEST (i.e. BUYER has to ASK YOU for YOU to ACCEPT an ALTERNATIVE payment method) you will accept epassporte, would THAT be ok, or would they be a mother fucking NAZI and pull your auction. That clarify it any?

Like? you can?t say on there you accept Paypal, Money Order, and all their ?accepted payment systems?, then have ?Epassporte available upon request?. If not, ebay is a fucking nazi.

                                                        True. An ebay keyword bot checks for banned keywords before approving your auction. I tried to post an auction with the word "moneygram" in the listing and it was rejected. Once the banned word was removed everything was OK. Funny sometimes the bot works and sometimes it doesn't.

                                                        I like everything about paypal except the fees. It's a lot slicker operation than epassporte. I consider epassorte a bit of joke really.

                                                        I think google is a bigger nazi regime than ebay though. Hate the damn sandbox.

                                                          Man that sucks hardcore. I don't use eBay much but every now and again I list some crap, and would at least like to give the buyers a choice as to what they want to pay by. I like PayPal to a degree as well, but I hate the fact they can freeze your account (and all funds in it) for 180 days with you unable to do shit. I just wish they hadn't sold out to eBay

                                                              Are you retarded? ebay owns Pay Pal which is know to illegally prevent people from getting their money. Hence why I never have any money in a Pay Pal account and very rarely use them.

Business is business, true enough, I just don't see why they can't allow their customers to choose which payment processor to use. Sure, make the seller have at least one of ebay's accepted payment systems (PayPal), but if the BUYER wants to pay with another service, why the hell not? It's because they are supported of communism that's why, eBay is a well known red organization.

I've had my Paypal account since 2002 when I was in highschool. I've pushed thousands of dollars through it when I ran an eBay store and a a subscription based website that used Paypal. I never had a single problem, EVER! Every single transaction dispute that was ever brought up against me has been settled in my favor. I've never once had money held. I don't know why you would keep money in your Paypal account anyway.

Business is business, true enough, I just don't see why they can't allow their customers to choose which payment processor to use. Sure, make the seller have at least one of ebay's accepted payment systems (PayPal), but if the BUYER wants to pay with another service, why the hell not? It's because they are supported of communism that's why, eBay is a well known red organization.
                                                                          Lol, they renewed the sig so I updated the banner

                                                                          Yeah, I see how it can be a pain in the ass but just think if they "force" PayPal on them at 2.9%+30cents ad god knows how many transactions a day. Thats millions 30cents at a time.

                                                                            it will take about a year to really get going, but i think they will take a lot of market share away from ebay....

You're right, PayPal is a good company run by honest, ethical people with nothing but the best intentions. And if you belive that, I've got some ocean front property in South Dakota I'd love to make you a great deal on.
