Ebay is banning Cash On Collection payments .... I got a warning today..... In the interest of seller/buyer protection .... Alert! As of 5 November 2009, you will be unable to list your item if cash is referenced as part of your payment instructions for in person transactions, outside of a few limited categories called out within the Accepted Payments policy. Although you may offer payment upon pick-up as an option when listings your items, you cannot openly solicit cash payments. For example, you are not allowed to say, “I accept cash in person” or “Cash accepted on collection”....." |

I'm happy to report that it's great when the "little" man can make the giant bow .... :med: On every ebay listing there are these short comforting words "Pay with PayPal and you can be fully protected" Well they are about to change their wording. I'm not sure to what as yet but I've had the conformation that it's about to happen. For what good it'll do mind .... :doh: And on the other hand I got a 3 day Ebay suspension :lol: :lol: :lol: Serves me right I suppose :coffee: |

Darren I stopped using Ebay to sell toy engines about two years ago. The moment they stopped buyers and sellers from being able to communicate, I saw trouble on the horizon. Then they decided to hide identities, making it impossible to spot shill bidders and problem bidders one had encountered along the way. I was long gone by the time they forced Pay-pal on everyone, but a friend who thought I was crazy for not selling, stayed on. I told him the problems you describe were coming but he was among the faithful. He finally quit when the same thing you've described began happening to him. Ebay has managed to cause far worse problems than their idiotic efforts were meant to cure. Today it has become a great place to get scammed, robbed and abused.... and that is just by management. The most crooked buyers are mere pikers in comparison. I still make an occasional tool purchase on Ebay, but I'm very selective and I weigh the risks before clicking that buy it now button. Luckily, I've got other avenues in which to offer items for sale and no longer have to depend on Ebay. Don't get me started on the dangers and pitfalls of Craig's list....LOL Steve |

:doh: :doh: :doh: I hadn't noticed I posted "Pay with PayPal and you can be fully protected" It used to read ""Pay with PayPal and you’re fully protected" They have already changed it ..... I did that, that was me that was, :) mind you it took some effort to convince them ... But it should read "Pay with PayPal and you might be fully protected" that would be closer to the truth .... but then what did I expect from such a ........ better not say eh ... not here. |
