Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / August 2005why do ebay car sellers rarely allow Paypal use?
I'm considering posting an ad on ebay motors but looking at previous auctions, I see that many sellers insist on cashiers' checks or money orders and don't allow Paypal. Is there some commission or penalty they are trying to avoid? I would think Paypal is a no-sweat way to get paid. > I'm considering posting an ad on ebay motors but looking at previous > auctions, I see that many sellers insist on cashiers' checks or money > orders and don't allow Paypal. > > Is there some commission or penalty they are trying to avoid?

Maybe PayPal, in addition to charging fees for its services based on price, could possibly provide a backout-option like the credit card companies (they represent) do when a buyer becomes dissatisfied with a purchase. Note that I said *could possibly*. Another reason may be the timing of getting paid--in the transactions I've paid for using PayPal, P.P credits the seller's account. It seems the seller then has to wait a bit to access the actual funds. s Yes, true, I've been on paypal since beginning of Internet times How in the world you arrived to such conclusion??? It is utterly against the fact. Paypal is #1 and usually only pay option, also on my own Ebay ads even if previously I reseited creating another account/UserID/password with yet another financila institution, life's too short, but in 2002 I broke down and rceated it, since then I understood there's no other way to pay but Paypal > How in the world you arrived to such conclusion??? > It is utterly against the fact.

That represents NO conclusion other than possibly inferred fear by some SELLERS, not PAYORS. I'm sure there are sellers who have had cc-companies deny payment when a purchase was disputed by the buyer. If, IF they associate PayPal, which is an intermediary between cc-companies and buyer/seller, they could, COULD fear some non-existent similar action MAY be available to buyers. Now: I agree that it is a GREAT way to BUY on i'net and from unknown sellers--esp. in that you do not give out your cc# to anyone(except PayPal, of course: but I trust them, as I do my banks). I've ordered from many sellers using P'pal where I would not have if I had to use my cc directly. Likewise, on Ebay, I've avoided considering products from some sellers who required use of credit cards only! Had they accepted PayPal, I may have bought their product. And if I were to set up as a seller on the i'net, accepting Paypal would be one of my 1st priorities!!! Hope this clears up any misunderstanding. s |
