Hi All,

The message that is displayed when i want to list an item is:
You cannot submit your listing due to the following problems

Due to a lot of scammers listing IN THIS CATEGORY, not necessarily you:To sell your item in this category you must offer PayPal as a payment method.
Due to all the scams, we're making it compulsory to offer paypal.I do not know why this has happened as i have not had any disputes with people who i sell to very strange, i also have a paypal account too.
It doesn't say YOU have had any disputes. It just says you MUST offer paypal.My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -
I do offer paypal, so not sure what the problem is.
Does anyone have an email address for problems which will be quicker than the one i have been using for ages with no reply.0 -
are you sure you have the paypal option ticked as a payment method? i hate this new rule they bring in - its just to get more money out of us!

There are only two possibilities here, firstly that like fay says you have not actually offered paypal on your listing. Go back and make sure the box is ticked and you have your paypal email address properly entered. Seondly an ebay glitch..but this should be affecting more than just you and there are several sellers on here that sell in that category and no one else is reporting a glitch.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.
