Back on the bay bottles listed!

RE: Back on the bay

Usually people put a line in thier auctions like "email me for alternate payment options".
i have used this and fleabay doesnt seem to have issues with it (or thier scan nazi misses it).
Now that they made paypal mandatory I feel they have tasked me to make every effort to avoid using it.

Matt, and everyone out there, they would not let me say I except other forms of payment.  I had it in the listing text and they railroaded me for it...

just let it be known I will take money orders...  thanks

AWHILE BACK A PERSON HAD LISTED PAY PAL ONLY. WHEN I WROTE TO THE PERSON THOUGH THEY SAID YES THEY WOULD ACCEPT OTHER MEANS OF PAYMENT AS THEY HATED PAY PAL!!! MAN,I WONDER HOW MANY SALES ARE LOST CAUSE OF THIS? IT ALWAYS PAYS TO ASK IF THE PERSON WILL THEY TAKE OTHER THEN PAY PAL AND NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED PAY PAL IS ALL THEY WILL TAKE. SEEMS LIKE SELLERS ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE ANGRY AT THE EBAY NAZIS! JAMIE

RE: Back on the bay

to be honest I doubt anyone is loosing money over it. I used to pick up great bottles at a steal because the sellers didn't take pay-pal. Used to be if you didn't offer it your items would sell for 20-40% less then if you did have pay-pal...

ebay has just gotten ridiculous really, but it is what it is, and we are stuck with it. No body wants to buy a bottle, they want to win it...

I never accepted paypal until it was forced upon me and I felt my auctions did quite well. And I haven't seen any increas in sale price since. And for some reason half my recent auctions I still get paid with checks and money orders. Many people just seem to dislike paypal for one reason or another.

RE: Back on the bay

personally I like it, its easy, and quick. I have the debt card so I have payments the second they are made. 3.2 percent can get be a lot of money when your up in the hundreds, but I count the time waiting for the mo or check, the time it takes to go the bank and everything else as a loss and inconvenience. In the end it equals out. I have heard a few people say that it hasn't changed their auctions, but Most of the better deals Ive gotten on bottles have been from people who didnt take pay-pal, most of the time huge deals too...

RE: Back on the bay

I agree 100% with you Tigue, I really like paypal, it is just hard to swallow something rammed down your throats, I wish their approach had been better. I would never spend a lot of money on ebay for a bottle from someone I did not trust that did not take paypal. I have had numerous cases where I paid with paypal and the bottle was not as described, or they just won't even send it, and have gotten my money back everytime, even if the seller did not want to take the bottle back. As a seller, I hate the fees, but I love the convenience and the overall quick process. I find it amusing that a majority (not all)of the ones that still insist on paying by check or MO take forever to send their payment out, the last one being an acquintance of mine who took over two months to complete the deal. Chris got good prices for his stuff without payal because he is a well known & trusted dealer.
