So are you going to get the tickets?

I live in Atlanta and am thinking about buying some when I am downtown for the Christmas parade that morning. There are always scalpers everywhere.

since paypal is owned by ebay, SCREW THEM BOTH.
ask your seller do a nonpaying buyer form on you and at then end, select "mutually agree" to have the auction cancel. he will get back the listing fee and FVF. you won't get a record for not paying.

I've yet to verify my paypal account but was planning to set up a separate checking account with a near zero balance largely because I don't trust paypal to have access to my other bank accounts. But if sellers typically bar people from paying via CC once they've verified themselves with a working checking account, maybe I won't bother. When I reach the $2000 limit, I'll just close the paypal account and go back to sending checks through the mail.

There's no financial reason for a business seller to block a credit card payment; paypal charges the seller the same fees whether or not the payment came from the buyers credit card or bank account. The only sellers who'd benefit are personal accounts that don't allow creditcard payments anyway.

As far as seller/buyer protection, I guess the non-creditcard payment may be slightly safer but if you follow the rules paypal puts out, there's not much difference.

Man, $5xx to see the game.... 19" High End LCD or Football.... hmmmm.... ;)


Sure there is. Then the seller doesn't have to take in the 2.5% or so especially if they deal in high value items... that can add up to a lot. By taking the funds that are already in your account, they get the full 100% item value with no Paypal fee.

Mil,
You seem to have anger management issues. Try Jasmine scent inscence and soft music for 1 hour every day. It helps.

don't sugarcoat it, tell us how you really feel :D

haha that also reminds me of clark griswold off of xmas vacation. Now all you need is the line "where's the tylenol"

On a more serious note, I hate ebay. Therefore anything related to ebay I dislike as well. However, half.com isn't "half" bad. IMO its the only thing ebay has going for them, even though they were going to close it down a month or two ago:frown:
