Not to mention, I BELIEVE if you have the wording in your write-up that you accept cash, check or money order, Ebay will automatically remove those listings.
This becomes a big deal if you have a lot of items in your turbo lister and then you have to go in and change your write-up on EVERY item. This is crazy. Dave Smith Reel Deals From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Lieberman Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 10:16 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] More eBay Frustrations well......up until now I've pretty much gone with the flow with ebays changes.....I've never seen what all the fuss and bitching was about. None of the changes had any real drastic effect on me so I really didn't care. until today. they announced they will no longer allow sellers to accept checks or money orders. Period. I asked my rep if they will still allow direct bank wire transfers....she said yes. I then listened to the online webinar they just had that ended an hour ago and asked them directly if wire transfers would be allowed, and they told me NO. so I'm not sure what the real answer is....but I'm guessing it is no. if this is the case, I told them I would be removing my very valuable items from my store. There is no way I'm allowing somebody to buy a $20,000.00 poster with paypal or a credit card. Its not even the fees that bother me.....its that lone dishonest buyer out there somewhere that will buy something from me....pay with a credit card....receive the poster from me....and then claim I sent them an empty package.....do a chargeback dispute.......and we all know the buyer wins every time.....so that would leave me screwed. This happened to me once with about an $80.00 item several years ago....and there is no way as a seller you can prove you sent a poster and not an empty box. The buyer will always win. So there is no way I'm keeping my expensive items in my store and have ebay force me to take a credit card or paypal for them. I don't mind keeping the lesser valued items in there, but they are really shooting themselves in the foot with this one. granted...most of my high dollar items are sold off of ebay....directly on my website...so these new changes won't kill me.....but it just pisses me off that they could be so stupid. anything sold on my site over $2000.00 must be paid for by cash, check, money order, or wire transfer. I asked this to ebay.....will they force those who sell a $10,000 AUTOMOBILE on ebay to take paypal or credit cards for the entire amount? They said no, they will still allow checks. why should autos get an exemption? what about all the other high end collectibles on ebay that routinely sell for several thousand dollars....coins, stamps, baseball cards, comics, movie and music memoribilia?? They are forcing all these sellers to accept paypal or credit cards.....unless of course the buyer can pick it up in person....then they can pay in cash or by check. I'm officially jumping on the bandwagon.....ebay is run by full retards.
