in the first reply the guy has it dead on. ebay is just being greedy. they are essentially charging $145 to sella vehicle on there now, as opposed to $90. PLUS they are mandating paypal, credit card(ok like individuals can accept credit card payments).. etc.. as of october, for ebay.com and parts on ebay motors etc, money orders and checks cannot be a proper form of payment. ebay trying to double dip by forcing sellers and buyers to use paypal. ebay is getting worse by the month
I listed several parts for sale on ebay at the same time a few months ago, & I couldn't list them at all without paypal as an option for the buyers. I have a paypal account, but I didn't like the fact that I was forced into listing an item a certain way. What got me even more angry, was that ebay screwed up one listing & blew me off. I didn't know it until I got an email from a buyer asking why he was barred or blocked from my auction. I looked into it & had no idea what he was talking about. If I was logged into my account & looked at the auction, it appeared fine. If I browsed the auction not logged in, it said my item was listed for some kind of pre-registered or pre-approved buyers only. (only one of three auctions was like that)
When I tried to straighten it out with ebay, the live help tech said "Gee, that's strange, I don't know why it's like that." He said there was nothing he could do & left me hanging. I haven't listed a damn thing on ebay since, & have sold more things on Moparts.com. Screw ebay.
