Ebay rant

Put in your auction "All types of payment accepted". Usually doesn't get anyone booted.

Try that now and you may feel differently.

I have no problems with eBay. Sure, I don't like the way they expedite customer service issues, but that's par for the course when it comes to ANY company (especially on the phone). And, sure, I hate people who ruin the honesty code . . . but that's not eBay's fault.

Simply put, eBay is a great channel to find things and sell things, and I find their money grabs reasonable (at least for what they sell). If there is a need for a better mousetrap, someone will develop it.

"Simply put, eBay is a great channel to find things and sell things" I agree 100% with that part. No question about that. All the fees are reasonable. I only resent them requiring payment via paypal. I also don't understand the EXCEPTIONS to the rule listed below. What is the difference in me selling a $1200 vintage car part and a gold coin? Excpeptions to the paypal rule:
