The credit card fee is.Ok, but even if they don’t want to use PP, can’t they just accept a credit/debit? The chargebacks are usually included in price anyway.
Your post reminds me that anytime an eBay buyer has a complaint it opens up a huge can of worms. I was sellig some car parts on eBay a few years ago and a buyer didn't read the listing and then filed a complaint when the part wasn't what she thought it was. Took me 6 weeks and hours of time to resolve the situation. eBay treated me like a scammer until they finally ruled in my favor. eBay could actually go into your PayPal account and debit the disputed amount leaving you on the hook. Now they have spun off PayPal so I don't think they can do that any more.cash in hand is a good thing. remembering back, last time i tried to get cash from my paypal it took a while. a live check was almost 2 weeks, electronic transfer to an account, close to 5 business days. the only time i use it is when i pay my nes fee every year. i don't sell on gunbroker but use ebay on occasion and i want a money order if i can get it. my rule of thumb there is if i have an easy to sell item and the buyer is crying about me not using paypal, i politely tell them to take a hike. if my item is a tough sell, i'll break down and accept paypal. sooo.....yeah, life's not fair and i'm a prick.
i've only had to engage ebay once, for having my ebay account hacked into, and was very satisfied on how they responded. i'm not defending ebay but i'm sure they have to...excuse the cliche... err on the side of caution. i would guess they sort through thousands of disputes a month and have heard it all.eBay treated me like a scammer until they finally ruled in my favor.
Not that many of us around any more. Jack.Not sure what all this fuss is about. I go into my LGS, ask for the cash price, plop down some dead presidents/inventors, and leave with a gun.
