jayzx10r Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) Don't get me started on the (fe)eBay/Paypal BS. What I did was since I handle all my banking transfers online, I created a 2nd checking account specifically for eBay-Paypal and keep like 1 dollar in it. Since I conduct all my eBay transactions through it, I fund it when I need to from savings...right after I win an auction... or transfer out funds as soon as they post from it to savings. This way, if some lame ass tries to pull the Paypal powerplay for free goods like happened here, they get nothing...well, they get a buck!! Plus, the only account Pay-Bay can lock up is the one specifically linked to their site...my "Paypal checking account"...not the one with my actual savings/checking funds. Paypal has initiated a new angle to make more money. Now, if you have a "personal" account like me, you can no longer specify that you do not accept credit cards and that the funds must originate from a personal bank account. They demand that if someone wants to pay with a credit card, you must "upgrade" your account to accept cards...thus subjecting you to a 2.9 or 3.9% fee (don't remember which one) for every future sale transaction...regardless of point of fund origin. So let me see...Paypal gets a 4% cut right off the top and (fe)eBay tags you for another 5.25% ++ listing, final value, big pics, priority listing fees on top of that!!! Imagine what 10% of all eBay transactions equate to!! I just reread my first sentence so I'm gonna stop here. These guys totally ruined a wonderful online buying/selling experience with their greed and lack of seller protection. :woot: Seriously...Do consider creating the separation of your real funds from what you want to transact with Paypal by opening another checking account. At my bank it was free...in fact, I don't even have checks for it!! Hope this helps someone, Jay From SanD.

Hope this helps someone, Jay From SanD. i do fine with postal money orders, take it from me 6 years ago i was all through a paypal double reversal.it`s not fun, when you buy and sell 100 bikes a year and part them out.it is a major fucking headache when they reverse your shit.i never ripped off anyone and they took the money right out of my acct. FUCK PAYPAL. ebay is almost getting unbearable too, with scam artists and deadbeats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
