I hate Paypal.
I sold a mp3 player this week and it set me back nearly a £10 for Paypal and £1.50 for eBay.
That's about 7% of the total sale price. !!!!!!.0 -

Just one of those silly little things of mine, I hate to see people ripped off and whilst the auction was obviously dodgy (the full stock photo, feedback based on small items suddenly selling £30k+ of high priced goods) and the 'sorry my paypal is broken please pay direct to my bank account, we are all aware on here that people will still fall for scams like that. I'd like to think that if I ever had my account hijacked that someone would report any dodgy looking auctions as I could cope with being suspended while they sorted it out, I'd hate to be at the mercy of scammer victims if the auctions remained.

Were they not just asking for direct card payment (safe)?
Given the boot because they didn't take paypal I assume?"Love you Dave Brooker! x"

Re the opening post - this was my favorite bit of the listing:

The one I reported wanted payment direct to a bank account based on stock photos and a previous history selling items for less than £10. Now selling plasma screens and Pcs at £699 and above, but you know people would still have bid.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
