Why does ebay take down a listing if you mention that the only way you can take paypal is if they use their bank account through paypal or there paypal funds?!?!

This is a scam to make one have to upgrade to the Premier account which is a load of crap!

They get to charge you 2.9% of what you take on top of ebays fees its a nice little crooked partnership they got goin on there!!

I mean I could understand a fee, but 2.9% is heafty! Especially if your not a business and do not sell on ebay that much at all.

I guess in the end I have to take this because theres no alternative really. :(

I find it funny how bank transfers take 8 days to "clear", even though the funds disappear from your bank account within a day or two.

They're like any otehr business

Any way to squeeze a couple more cents out of your pocket works good for them.

I don't use it anymore

I've never had one take eight days..it usually leaves my account the next day, and is completed after 2-3 more days.

How expensive of an item are you selling that you cannot live with a 3% fee. If it's that much of a problem just create 2 paypal accounts, one personal and another premier.

1. It's less than eBay fees.
2. It's cost of doing business. Deduct it from your taxes.
3. I always pay with CC PayPal. If you don't want my money, don't take it. See how well your item sells with no PayPal.

PayPal refunded money to me from an auction I won a month ago because the seller did not have a premier account and could not accept credit card funds.

I REFUSE to give paypal my bank acct info, I had to dispute a charge because an ebay seller never sent an item but he gave paypal a usps tracking # and paypal was going to wait until there was a delivery or a return documented by that number which was never going to happen, no problem, AmEx handled it nicely.
