<p>[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 417051, member: 5629"]Remember something here: eBay <i>was</i> a venue! You are entering into a contract between yourself and the seller. If you do not like the terms of the contract, you may always "Ask Seller A Question" and try to negotiate further terms...this is perfectly legal. If the seller accepts check/MO only, you can always try to get him to allow another payment source...that's how contracts work!</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem here is that after implementation, eBay will NO LONGER be a venue! Aside from the fact that this may very well open up a number of legal problems for them because they would no longer have any form of safe harbor claims for being a venue, everyone needs to understand that eBay is no longer a venue and is placing itself as a party to the contract.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you do nt want to accept certain payment types, that's up to you as a seller, and your right to assert such in your legal contract. If you don't like paying with check or MO only, then simply do not enter into a binding contract with the individual...it's plain and simple, really.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll expound on a few things in some other replies...but remember also, the Australian government already found much of what eBay is projecting to do as unlawful, and France has already found eBay not to have any form of safe harbor because of its involvement in the contracts. We are a common law society, and those issues will be raised here, especially when there are so many now that utilize their current structure as a means of livelihood. There will be numerous complaints filed against eBay...and I believe a fair number of them will be quite valid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
