    In reading the eBay link on managed payments, I see that they're also going to be charging us fees on the sales tax as well. I pray that USA Coin Book is the big winner in all of this!

    I've said in here that I will not go to Managed Payments.
    The Reason: I will not give eBay any more info about my account than they already have.
    So, I'll modify my original standing.
    I will go to Managed Payments ONLY if I don't have to give any more personal information.

    I know where I can list philatelic items.
    Don't know yet where I'll be able to list numismatic material.

    FWIW, the excluded list seems to me to have a high correlation to items which cannot be insured if sent through the US mail. Coincidence, or a connection?

    USA Coin Book is a tiny site, eBay is far better.

    I wonder if there was an email at some point that said "reply in lowercase to opt out of Managed Payments, or UPPERCASE to join the program". ;)

    See, this is another reason not to leave the caps lock on. People get exhausted trying to wade through walls of uppercase.

    your fellow members are asking you to stop typing in all caps. Can you do that?
    We feel your pain.... but we would like you to stop hollering so loud. OK?

    Just listed a coin for kicks. No problem. Just as it has been for years, as far as I can see. And I never "opted out" of anything.

    If they really won't let you close your account, and then open a new one, then I suggest maybe opening a new account in the name of your wife, kid, or dog, and proceed that way.

    Again, sorry this happened to you. Good luck.

    Yeah, I remember getting email like that a very long time ago, but not recently, and not with any sort of incentive. I figured I'd wait as long as I could to see how they were going to fix the forbidden-items issue. What I've seen so far, including your story, doesn't really fill me with confidence. They've had this gun pointed at their foot for a long time, and I'm starting to think they really will pull the trigger without shifting their aim.

    Not everybody has gotten the "join or die" email.

    I sell only a few items per year, and I've heard nothing recently. When I do sell, it's usually coins, so I may have activated some automated "don't touch" feature of their process.
