new rules on ebay, look at their scam - GoFuckYourself.com

HighSociety · 12-10-2006, 08:19 PM

SO I listed an item on ebay or I should say I tried, it was flagged and said I could not list it until I verified my paypal account, well I don't have one. I spoke with live help and they said I need to open a paypal account to list some items even if I do not use paypal. It is just a way ebay is using to force you to sign up with paypal.

Spunky · 12-10-2006, 08:28 PM

That's been their standard for quite a long time

like Spunky said, that has been that way for a long time

using paypal as your only payment on ebay has benefits though

notabook · 12-10-2006, 08:43 PM

It's mainly just to verify your address and/or bank account. You don't have to use paypal (minus rare occasions such as selling PS3 pre-orders or stuff like that), but you do just to get your addy and stuff verified. The amount of scammers on ebay… it is just simply staggering. It’s a necessary evil.

HighSociety · 12-10-2006, 09:15 PM

I have been listing on ebay for 7 years and never had an auction denied for it, they told me it was a new rule that came in affect. oh well

squishypimp · 12-10-2006, 09:17 PM

madawgz · 12-10-2006, 09:19 PM

biftek · 12-10-2006, 09:35 PM

i guess its that 23cents that they rip out of your bank account , 23cents over X amount of signups , a good scam

I seem to recall they deposit money, not take it out.

Something change over the years?

I dunno about e-payments, maybe, but not land-payments. Money Order/Check is still an option.

Fuck PayPal. And when did this go into place, this must have been very recent because I just opened a new seller account like 2 weeks ago and I did not run into this issue. As much as I hate Google, they need to open an auction service to give eBay a little competition and all this bullshit would go away.

woj · 12-12-2006, 03:19 PM

it's hardly a scam, if you don't like the way they run things, you can always sell your stuff elsewhere..

vidvicious · 12-12-2006, 03:30 PM

does anyone know of any other Auction sites like ebay . or any classified ad sites like craigslist.org ???

scottybuzz · 12-12-2006, 04:16 PM

jbizzle · 12-12-2006, 04:18 PM
