Thanks for the support fellas. I really appreciate it. E-bay was a lot of fun while it lasted, however, I refuse to deal with credit card companies ever again.
I checked with the ebay staff and they told me that any vendor that accepts Money Orders and or cheques would be sanctioned. I don’t want to get anybody in trouble. So, no ebay for a while till they come to their senses. And that’s okay.
Those of you who do accept Money Orders and cheques might find the following interesting:
Dear studeclunker,
Sorry, I quote eBay regulations, "eBay's accepted payment policy has changed and is now in effect from Jan 15, 2009: we will no longer allow sellers to accept paper payments (money orders and personal checks) as forms of payment - only electronic forms of payments such as PayPal or credit cards will be permitted." Since I am retired from business I don't take credit cards so I can only accept PayPal. This is my only income for retirement and I can not afford to be santioned by eBay. Thank you for your interest!!!!!
I responded to him:
Dear -------,
Thank you for that. I was not aware that ebay was discriminating against people who didn't wish to use electronic payment.
Thanks again,
Yours,
