Last time I listed I got a message saying

"due to your limited transactions you must accept Paypal"

I usually state I will accept it if the buyer coughs up 5% extra to cover the fee.

It's best not to mention that in your listings though, it's one of the quickest ways to get your listing cancelled if someone reports it.

Paypal and ebay seem to be going very much in the way of pleasin buyers and to hell with sellers and looking at chat in other forums it seems a lot of sellers are losing faith in the system. As a seller it seems you have tyo jump through a lot of hoops to be protected.

although i'm biased as lost money because someone said they never recieved parcel but since then the buyer has asked for positive feedback so he can leave me same and I noticed he's complained about not recieving other goods but sellers say they've never been paid, also the buyer seemed to like changing adress on his account . and paypal dont see that as fishy.. (still waiting on royal mails verdict)

Also noticed this morning that a seller can no longer leave a buyer negative feedback. So how do you know if a buyer has a history of being a prat???

I can see why they've done it but it's just created other problems. I suppose you've the choice of either not leaving feedback at all or leaving positive feedback with a comment to say what you really think, but that means you'll have to read through the comments to get a true picture & who has the time for that?

as usual the bigger to company the smaller the customer service.

What we need is some compertition.

Where has the Monopoly commission gone!

Trouble is the others i have seen seem crap.

Why doesn't out Post Office invest in one.
They are having problems making enough on post alone.
Linking an online auction and thier own post system then hey presto.

i think if you have less than 100 feedback then you HAVE to use paypal in your listings, if you have more than 100 you can use what you want.
