Hello, thank you for waiting
ricoswavydog.
I am trying to list a item for sell and it will not let me list it unless I have a paypal buy option I don't wana have a paypal buy option

ricoswavydog.
anyone there?

Lue R thank you i would be happy to help you with that
Lue R.
would it be posible that you may tell me the exact error m***age you are getting

ricoswavydog.
says payment methods for this listing must include paypal or credit card

Lue R. thanks for the clarification,

Lue R beginning March 2008 the folling type of sellers will be required to offer ether paypal or credit card as a payment option in there listings

Lue R 1) seller with more then 5% buyer dissatisfaction in the last 30 days.or
2) seller with a feedback score of less then 100,or
3) sellers listing items in the following categories
gift certifictes, video games,cell phones,computers and consumer electronics .these categories have been solected because historically they have a higher rate of buyers dissatisfaction.

Lue R
i think you are listing under consumer electronics categories. right?

ricoswavydog
what ! that is not right i been selling items for years with only a us postal money order i don't like paypal

ricoswavydog
if that is the case i will not list the 100's of items with ebay i have forsale i will not use paypal again after they riped me off

Lue R
i understand how you feel if you are required to offer a safer payment option,you don't have to use paypal you may offer ether paypal or a credit card as a paymentmethod for your ebay listings/ please keep in mind that if you indicate that you will accept credit card payments you will be required to show evidence that you can accept such payments

ricoswavydog

Lue R

ricoswavydog

ricoswavydog

ricoswavydog
its more ebays loss then mine plenty other auctions on the net i can go to without haveing to use paypal
lue R
i respect you for that please understand that we're now requiring more sellers to offer either paypal or credit cards as payment method because we'd like to make sure that ebay buyers have at least one safer payment option. by ensuring that our buyers have safer payment options,we are confident that we're increasing buyer satisfaction which will improve the marketplace for ebay sellers who provide a great service

ricoswavydog
PAYPAL DON'T PROTECT ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES I KNOW I USE TO USE THEM BOUGHT SOMETHING FOR $800 THE GUY SENT ME A BOX OF ROCKS WITH A TRACKING # TOLD PAYPAL IT WAS THE ITEM AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN REFUND MY MONEY THEY DIDN'T GET MY MIONEY BACK I LOSS $800 USEING PAYPAL AND WILL NEVER USE THERE PHONEY PROTECTION AGAIN

ricoswavydog
and now you ebay are forceing me to use paypal to sell with you i am very mad about that

ricoswavydog
paypal wouldn't even accept pictures of the box with the tracking # on it and all the crap inside it

ricoswavydog

ricoswavydog

Lue R
i understand you for your feeling that way please do use our suggestion box to reach our management team

ricoswavydog
o i will do more then that and you can tell them that

ricoswavydog
i am done with ebay then and you can kiss the money i already owe good buy also

ricoswavydog
totaly unfair to the sellers out there good ones like me

Lou R
please accept our apology for any inconvenience this may have caused

ricoswavydog
soon only crooks will be selling on ebay

ricoswavydog
well if you like getting rid of good sellers like me just keep it up with your dumb policys

ricoswavydog

all you care about is makeing another buck by forceing peeps to use paypal and pay them also for listings and i already know ebay owns paypal too so it all goes in your pocket anyways this is a rip off

ricoswavydog
i will tell the world just like i did when paypal let that s*** bag rip me off watch your business stock and everything else go down others will surely join me

ricoswavydog
you better dump this idea now

ricoswavydog
for peeps with feedback like mine

Lue R
i know how you are feeling right now

ricoswavydog
get a manager to come look at what i wrote

ricoswavydog
and then go read some horror storys about paypal on them websits i told you about and then tell me this is right then

ricoswavydog
i am going to post this whole thread all over the net so people can see and know what you at ebay are trying to do to us

Lue R yes i will also ask my manager to read our chat session. in this case, he can help me report your concern to our management team

ricoswavydog
i may not change 1000's but will change 100's of minds about ebay now

ricoswavydog
i know alot about ebay and paypal and how it all works i am not dumb i may type badly but that don't mean nothing i am also 1 person a good person and ebay is now screwing me i don't deserve it i hate paypal for what they did to me and 1000's if not millions of others so to for how they claim to protect the consumer and really only protect themselves
ricoswavydog
i will not for the record ever sell anything useing paypal again
ricoswavydog
even if it means i have to give up my ebay account i have worked so hard to maintain so don't do this i got a ton of stuff to list with you guys i am about to go somehwere else
Lou R
please don't say that. we want to keep good sellers lke you on ebay

ricoswavydog
then you know what to do then

ricoswavydog
let me sell

Lou R
please let our management know how you feel reguarding this change so that they can make some changes on it

ricoswavydog
you might start looking at the persons feedback

ricoswavydog
how long they have sold without PAYPAL TOO COMES TO MIND

ricoswavydog
i have a ton of stuff i have to sell cuz i am moveing across state soon and don't have a place to keep it now you have screwed me when i worked so hard to get a good account going with you and what for?

ricoswavydog
besides paying with a us postal money order is far more safer then paypal will ever be for the buyer or seller if the check is bad the goverment goes after them for counterfit money if the items is not sent the postal service goes after them for mail fraud i can't belive that ebay don't know this
ricoswavydog
people that know use postal money orders not paypal
ricoswavydog
you tell paypal when they give me back my money they let that s*** bag steal from me i might consider useing them again

Lou R
i am sorry for that

Lou R
i can understand why you are frustrated in this situation i would be too if that happend to me

ricoswavydopg
i am sure you are how would you feel in my condition and now being forced to use a company you don't want to let rip you off again to sell something on ebay when you have all but a perfect record selling things with a us postal money orders

ricoswavydog
then fix the problem and let me sell i was going to list about 100 items today took the day off to do it

ricswavydog
rather the whole week

ricoswavydog
cap are to express the anger i feel right now

ricoswavydog
and the injustice

ricoswavydog
i know one person can't start a war with a giant like ebay but 100.000 can and i am right there with them don't do this



ricoswavydog
this don't help anyone and only hurts ebay sells and good people like me

ricoswavydog i am done here venting you have a manager email me at ....... my feedback speaks for itself like many others we will not go for this i am telling you right now

Lue R
i know that you don't like to accept paypal anymore if this this may resolve your issue so i just encourage you to have a credit card and you may also use it to list these type of items

ricoswavydog
why would i want to start a buisness to sell household stuff i am haveing a garage sale on the net i shouldn't have to start a business for that

ricoswavydog
you have to start a business to be able to accept a credit card payment

ricoswavydog
well i guss thats all ebay wants to be selling with them bad idea

the end

commit

most items that are sold on ebay are from private sellers now they are forceing private sellers to join paypal and pay them a % of the sale also this is just wrong
go to ebay and complain about this
