Default Demise of Ebay?

I just noticed one can no longer sell on Ebay without offering PayPal.

Well that's the end of it as far as I am concerned, as a seller.


Isn't this a monopoly issues? And illegal under EU law..not that paypal
has ever bothered to comply with that.


Does it matter? I'd rather pay to a seller through PP this way I know its
been recieved and can get my money back.


ROFLMAO!!

Get your money back? from Paypal?


Well, the only time I've tried doing it, which was when a seller tried
to stitch me up (didn't send me anything and went dark on me after being
paid) they did indeed refund me.

That was one of only two (AFAICR) 'bad' transcactions out of several
hundred sales and purchases I've made on ebay over the past 6 years -
the other one was for a cash item I collected, and which proved to be
useless. I lost my money.
