Alright well no matter how you look at it, the bottom line is, if you transact on ebay in the US, now the only payment option is paypal. I think this is a GOOD thing. It simplifies everything. For those of you who have not used paypal, it is SIMPLE to use, and generally very secure. The same goes for Ebay Registration itself. Ebay Registration and Paypal Registration are simple. Just beware of suspicious emails coming to your ebay inbox or regular email, just as always, look at the domain especially (the .com address) and make sure it is spelled correctly for one. I usually ignore these types of emails. If I think maybe it is legit, all you have to do is login to your account and believe me, if there is a problem, paypal or ebay will TELL YOU when you login. So if you have a strange email and no notification within the account itself, then it is just a scammer email. When it doubt, check it out!
Also, Ebay recently acquired Kijiji, a classified ads engine to try to increase revenue. Hmmm.... Suspicious. Layoffs, buying and selling other sites, what does all this mean? Thoughts?

paypal being the ONLY payment type on ebay is NOT a good thing.. especially for teh sellers.
When you genuinly send an item out, get tracking info and the item arrives some people say they havent had it and start a paypal dispute. 9 times out of 10 paypal side with the BUYER... I have had this happen several times for clients who have ebay shops. Paypal "holds" the money until its all sorted, gaining interest on it for thenselves. You have to fone quite an expensive telephone number to speak to someone to sort out the problem. Even then its to no avail.
