They did you a favor. Money order is less hassle than PayPal in the long run. You could also use bitcoin and support freedom.

they did a favor? you dont know the story. its not my fault. some buyer outside usa claim he didnt get the item after 25 days. the item was either lost or he gave me wrong address. paypal took his side and made my balance to negative. i didnt make my account positive in time so they lock my account.

never do bussiness with foreigners! mistake learned.

i wiki bitcoin and it seems like a computer credit/chip. dont really understand. ebay accept it?




anyway can i make a new paypal account with different card? or will it auto detect and locked the account since its the same name?

Yes, you can open a new paypal account. After that much time, there should be no problem with opennig another Paypal account. Just follow their 'stupid' instructions, and before long, you too will be buying and selling with Paypal. Unfortunately, there are still many on eBay that mandate a Paypal account. When it work, it does work good.

As others have mentioned, there are alternatives to Paypal and there is no problem with having multiple accounts (as I do). I will use an alternate account, but sometimes the seller requires Paypal, and I'm glad I have Paypal too.

Please don't give this guy any ideas.
Based on his past threads about dealing with people, he has NO business selling and buying to anyone.

edit: He's has the habit of deleting OPs. Lame.

Yea....good luck making bitcoins when you can't afford to buy one of those expensive mining things people are using now.

Buy 'em on exchange. Easy bitcoins are history. You'd lose more paying for electricity than you would paying an exchange rate.

The only problem is finding a place that takes them.

A lot of the sites that do use them like amazon they force you to buy gift cards only with them making it annoying last I had checked.

Not to mention how much the prices changes, one time after they got hacked the value was at $17.50 and it ended at a few pennies, so with so much exchange value looking at the rates they have been they are not worth it to be stable enough to use.

Yea, bitcoin's pretty volatile. It's best if you need anonymity, or are using it right away. Any kind of investment is a gamble.
