I used to be an ebay "Power Seller" for over 8 years. I also bought tons of stuff on ebay and in one occasion when I did not receive the merchandise that I had ordered i disputed the charge on my credit card. this was a normal and legitimate thing but not for PayPal. they blocked me from using their service if I would not tell my credit card company to reverse the charges that had been reversed. these guys think that they are almighty and that they are so powerful that a customer how was cheated and did not receive the merchandise would beg for their services. well, for some time I was able to continue to do business on ebay using checks, money orders and cashiers checks. but then ebay went a step further and implemented the "No ebay without PayPal" policy. From that day on they lost my business. Obviously they don't need me but I don't need them either. Now, if there is something that I would have sold on ebay previously, I jsut throw it into the garbage. And the stuff that I used to buy on ebay - I can also get it somewhere else... There is a life beyond ebay. Maybe one day, if they are smart enough to realize that their PayPal policy does not increase their profits and if they get back to their old system where buyers and sellers had the freedom to decide how to pay, i might come back.

Hello since ebay got there hands on paypal things have changed. They force you to use paypal. I have been an ebay seller for 9+ years and have well over 500 feedback. Now if you try and put that you will accept money orders they send an email telling you to remove the money order payment plan from your listing or they will remove your listing. Also we all took a big hit when shipping rates went way up, Then ebay raises it rates! I have a bunch of saved sellers in my list that Have been on ebay for as long as myself and they are no longer listing items at all. Ebays stock has gone way down also. I feel it's time to remove and replace meg as CEO. My vote goes to Uncle griff!!! you can check him out at ebay radio! Anyway don't let it get the best of you. One time someone got there hands on my paypal card and changed $80.00 at QT on whatever. I informed paypal and got all my money back so that was good anyway I wish you luck and I really beleave it's time to replace MEG as CEO
