We all use e-bay from time to time and these changes will effect us all. They are:
_____________________________________________________
The changes to e-bay take effect May 21 as follows:
From 21 May you must offer PayPal on all your listings as
well as currently permitted payment methods.
From 17 June you will only be able to offer PayPal on your listings and pay on pick up (I.e.paid for when picking up the item).
Pay on pick up can only be offered in conjunction with PayPal. No other payment methods will be permitted.
__________________________________________________
So if you don't want PayPal, you don't trade.
I see that as restrictive trading practice, pure and simple, whatever the reasons.
This has come about due to some folk bypassing e-bay, fair enough, but to force everyone to use the one method of payment is restrictive trading. I have had some bad experiences with PayPal and I don't want a 3rd party involved in what would otherwise be a simple transaction. just MHO.
