BINGO. Once you "agree" to it and give them your account information they can and will take money without listening to you, the seller. Which has happened at my work. Which is why I, personally do not sell on Ebay any longer.
I sold a very very nice bridle to someone. She claimed she never got it. I had a signed delivery confirmation!!
She filed with paypal who took the money from my bank account and over drew it in the process and froze my PayPal account.
I saw her two weeks later with the bridle on her horse at a show.
That said. I have also purchased things via Ebay and never received them. I never had to go through Paypal because the seller was nice enough to just credit me back for the item her SO never shipped in the first place.
If you are big enough to be a power seller it doesnt hurt you. A negative feedback is but a blip. You get have something happen as a small seller or a personal seller and it can really mess you up.
I understand the security reasons for what they have done. But they are screwing over more people than they are "helping" PLus, their fees etc are outrageous.
OH. And You, as a seller can NOT put that you will take money order, personal checks or cash on a listing. Unless it is a PICK UP ONLY listing. If you do put it on there for a regular listing. You will be "spanked" Your listing will be removed. Your "grade" will be lowered along with your "search ability"
