But the point about items for collection you would not want to accept Paypal for is still valid.. Sue, I was quite looking forward to making 78 purple earrings... :shock: I dunno Whirly, when we sold our old Vectra we got quite a bit more for it than we expected – still it will sell anywayn this time round, so the point is academic for me.

Owen's issues with PayPal for vending machines. I've seen a fair few listings in PayPal-compulsory categories saying things like "the listing says PayPal because we have to, but if you pay with it, we'll refund you and ask for something else". I'm sure that's only going to get more common!! Alternatively, of course, you have to sell your car on your main ID. Which equally isn't exactly ideal.

So what about selling my car? We successfully sold hubby's one a few years back, and now we are changing mine. It is up on my personal id, which only has 22 feedback, but I shall NEVER accept Paypal from a motordealer collecting from me... Cash or nothing for me. So does that mean after February I can never sell a car again on eBay? did you also see the bit about Paypal shortly being obligatory for all sellers with less than 100 feedback?

I was amazed to just get something from the UK signature required with 10 GBP postage...I can't get signature to the USA with the post office at any price.

If paypal give me the money, then I want them to be giving me the confidence that it is safe and from a trustworthy source - as they are the handler, I had a very very interesting conversation with my local police force over one particular chargeback, and they said to me "What paypal have done is illegal....." So, one wonders if paypal have been bitten on the bottom about C/bs and are trying to stop the millions of calls they must get daily. They probably pay more in wages to peeps to provide the customer support service than they would if they just honoured the sale and let it be Cost ? :idea: Hmmm, ok, I lost £110 in Dec through c/b - quite a low amount, admittedly, but to pay paypal an amount under that and know that the money isnt going to vanish out of my account is a small price to pay Suz x :lol:
