Default Re: Ebay doesn't allow sellers to accept cash payments

Ebay did something similar to me before. I had 50 or so auctions and lost all my descriptions, etc. I wrote to them and explained the situation. They refunded all my listing fees and reinstated my auctions in the ended category of my ebay so I could relist them at the touch of a button. I'm not sure if they will do the same for you but it is definitely worth a try. Even if they do reinstate your auctions, look forward to some short sales. The auctions they reinstated did not sell for much even know there were some very nice items. I think this is because many potential buyers thought there was something fishy going on due to the sudden ending then relist. The bummer is I did nothing wrong and lost time and money due to a mistake that was not mine.


I hope it works out for you,


Jason

Thanks Charles for the heads up. One more reason to stay clear of peebait. They are just not happy if they aren't squeezing every last nickel from both sides of the table.

That's what's known as standard business practice.

Yes! You just passed Business 101 Chris! Business 102 will explain why the phrase "Business Ethics" is an oxymoron.

The best part of ebay is where they change thier paypal page every month to try and deceive people paying with paypal to use thier bank accounts instead of a CC...the answers THEY want you to select are always the highligted ones,and they try and make you hit the PAY button before you can change the method to a CC payment. Of course its written in thier bylaws that once you make a payment there is no recourse to change it. Deception at its best. Even knowing all this, i tried to make a payment the other day and it came out of my bank accouint when i didnt want it to..

Paypal's latest scam: I just received $400 that a seller refunded from those incorrectly sized cragars I bought a month ago. I originally paid via my credit card through Paypal. Instead of refunding my credit card, Paypal made it a new Paypal balance of $400. It takes about 10 minutes of searching their website to figure out how to get your money physically back in your pocket. You have to have Paypal issue you a check...at a cost of $1.50 service charge, of course.
