bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 5:12 pm weerdsteve, the only problem with the misspelled words is that some bidders might think you are a scammer, many of them have misspelled words in their listings and emails. Why not just say that you accept "other payments besides paypal, email with any questions" or something like that. Edited by bmanofnbc 12/30/2008 5:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 6:09 pm Does anyone have any links to lawsuits ongoing regarding payments on ebay? I mean, ebay goes to great lengths to protect its status as an 'intermediary' between sellers and buyers, so that they can avoid legal responsibility for all the fakes and junk they allow to be sold on their site--then they go and require payments to be made the way they say they need to be made in order to protect the people for whom they are only acting as an intermediary. Why can't buyers and sellers decide on the payment method that works for them--as long as it is legal? Anyone? Report this Post to the Staff
Yass Pillar of the Community Australia 652 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 02:03 am United States of America Class action filed against ebay over PayPal An anti-trust class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States of America against ebay under the Sherman Act alleging that ebay utilises its nationwide monopoly of the online auction market to monopolise the available forms of payment that sellers can use on ebay. The lawsuit alleges that 'sellers who would otherwise accept only money transfers must also accept payment card transactions'. http://www.accc.gov.au/content/inde...temId/785607 The above came from the Australian Government ACCC site http://www.accc.gov.au I don't know how current it is though. You should also search the site for paypal related issues. ebay tried to force Australians to use Paypal only. We all much prefer the direct deposit method where we can put funds directly into your nominated account free of charge. We still have the ability to use a number of forms of payment. eBay International AG ebay proposed to mandate the use of online payment services provided by PayPal Australia Pty Ltd for almost all transactions on https://www.ebay.com.au. The ACCC issued a draft notice proposing to revoke the exclusive dealing notification on 12 June 2008. A predecision conference was held on 30 June 2008. ebay withdrew the exclusive dealing notification on 3 July 2008. Edited by Yass 12/31/2008 02:16 am Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 02:11 am I'll never sell coins on ebay again if I can help it. I sell small margin items that end up not making more then a 1-5% profit. PayPal I'll keep. I use it mainly for transfers of money on the forum and with friends. Best thing with it is I can moderate monies I have between 2 bank accounts Report this Post to the Staff
Yass Pillar of the Community Australia 652 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 02:32 am For those that are interested, the attached is the arguments for and against the mandated use of Paypal. The final decision was that the ACCC did not allow it to proceed. http://www.accc.gov.au/content/trim...ionId=835892 Report this Post to the Staff

skidmore75 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 4:23 pm I just "enrolled" onto this site today ,and have been searching for the forum that questioned nac grading .I too had also been on e-bay and that wa$ a really lou$y experience.Seems a few seller$ or perhap$ $hyster$ use that faux NAC grading site which has been under "construction" for a looooong time now annd passing off Xfs as MS60s . I can't believe E-bay officials (?) haven't checked on that sites validity by now.Needless to say I don't recommend e-bay at all. Report this Post to the Staff
okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 02/02/2009 7:41 pm I have always listed the coins I have for sale on the CCF first, but I have NEVER sold anything here. After about two weeks of no action on the Community I have listed them on ebay and they have always sold. I am just a small seller and I don't like the ebay changes either, but at least for now they are the best way to reach a broad market. Report this Post to the Staff
