eBay to force use of Paypal - Page 3

Rupewrecht · 14-05-2010, 02:48 PM

2.4% of anything you get sent, they take.

And they probably hold the money for one to two days while they play with it on the international cash or futures market.

its about 5 days before you can transfer the money sort of thing.. its rediculus. but i prefer paypal (apart from not having tried paymate LOL copy much) because of its buyer protection. i got so much money back on things that never arived as described or at all like that. i remember when ebay forced the paypal as a "option" to start of with, 2 of my listings got canceled because i said I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL (this was b4 i had a account) but i ticked the mandatory paypal option anyway.. oh well.

just remember if you use PayPal outside of EBay. Say for a cash transaction to pay for an item from a US Forum through his/her PayPal email (username) account. You don't necessarily get it back. They try to recoup your money but even if you present to them the transaction details ie: Paid into Joe FannyFarts PayPal email acount.....FanFart@ whatthefarc.com.Irann. If they screw you & don't send your part. Say they havn't a penny in there account. PayPAl will reimburse you squattittlytot! I once got ripped $380 (excluding PayPal service fee

) recieved $16 reimbursement due to lack of funds in the pricks' account

Clean_Cookie · 16-05-2010, 03:19 PM

well I do. and people either pay bank deposit or pay extra for the stuff around. most people don't and I give them back the change if there is any from the postage or just keep it if they use paypal...

I think there are positives and negatives to this situation.

It's a pain in the ass when trying to pay or be paid by someone without PayPal so if everyone used it cash would flow a lot more easily. Also as someone mentioned the protection with paypal is good.

Yes it will cost more and that's a pain in the ass but maybe it's worth it for the buyer protection that paypal offer?
