Not ebay want you to use paypal only as a form of payment. This way they make more money. The olny people that get hurts now is the small person making a two or three dfollars transaction. they charge you .35 listing fees and 8.5% comm. now with paypal, another .30 charge plus 4.9% on the total transaction which inclues the postage cost.
so sell a $5.00 item with a $2.00 postage cost will cost you.
.35 + .47 ebay
.30 + .35 paypal
total 1.47 comm profit 3.53 minus the cost of the item $4.00 for a net lost of (.53)

They say that they can not trace a check or a money order. Funny I can trace my check that I paid some one for up to 120 days

I agree with you. I think ebay is wrong in forcing sellers to use
PayPal or propay.

Granted, I myself never allowed check or money order payments due to
them being a hassle for me, however, I know of many sellers who use
paper payments exclusively with no more issues than folks who use
paypal exclusively.

Ebay is getting more fees by forcing this issue. Sure, some of the
reasons they list are valid, however, they can eeasily be handled with
sellers tracking things correctly.

Richard C.,

eBay doe not twist your arm to use PayPal though you do have to
remember to opt out when settting up your auctions.

Let's face it there are things that are best not sold on eBay. Simply
do the calculations before you decide to place an auction and you can
figure if it makes sense or not.
