    Wow.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they eventually ban bank transfers, cheques, and postal orders, and then NO sellers with any sense will ever sell high value goods on eBay if they're forced to take PayPoo.

    I'm sick to the back teeth of ebay choping and changing rules. I hardly ever sell on there now, it costs too much for a start and then you never know if your listing is going to get pulled over some petty policy that they sneaked in a month earlier.

    Ebay has got too big for it's boots now I think.

    Lets face it. Postal Orders are already a second or perhaps third class payment option - apart from "illegal" payment methods, it's the only one where a buyer can't claim back on the ebay protection policy. If you pay by postal order, you might as well stick some cash in an envelope for all the protection it gives you.
  • I can full understand their position, but if it makes life hard for the consumer then vote with your feet. ebay isnt the only auction site out there. I see no attraction to ebay, but thats just my opinion. If people continue to use the site however inconvenient it becomes then more fool them...
