    Has the seller stuck this item to a brick wall in order to take its photo??

    I know I get short for space sometimes but I usually manage to sweep some junk out of the way to set up a photo!

    Why should the OP give up any protection they may have and send a cheque

    Is this where you pretend that cheques are unsafe and paypal is a super safe?

    Why should sellers be *forced* to take payment methods against their wills and interests?

    tbh paypal is pants, but it's sellers like this that give it some purpose.

    The background looks like Poundland floor tiles to me.
    I love this bit:

    Riiiight. 95.4% positive, littered with complaints about refusal to accept Paypal, dirty items, overcharging for p&p and poor packaging - that'll inspire confidence :rolleyes:

    Because it is the Rules, whether we like it or not.....and it looks as though the seller is objecting to the Paypal fees as they are happy if the item sells for over £12.
    Before this rule i would tick the box that states uses Paypal as payment method....as writing cheques is a pain, also finding an envelope and a stamp is extra money, plus the added waiting time.

    But it's not fair and only there to make ebay even more money.

    Very true, but what can we do about it?
