<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nickelman, post: 417060, member: 4633&quot;]<font size="4"><b>Am I missing something??? I still don&#039;t see where ebay will only allow PayPal! </b></font></p><p>&quot;Faster, more reliable checkout on eBay</p><p>Starting this fall, we&#039;re moving to an electronic checkout process that&#039;s faster and more reliable for sellers and buyers. As part of this move, checks and money orders will no longer be accepted on eBay, although buyers can still use these payment methods for item pick-up, at the seller&#039;s discretion. In addition, the electronic payment methods will be fully integrated into eBay checkout. For example, if a seller has an internet merchant account, a buyer will be able to directly enter a credit card and never have to leave the site. </p><p><br /></p><p>Today, items paid with check or money order are 80% more likely to result in an item not received (INR) than those paid with credit card or PayPal. Also, buyers who pay with check or money order are 50% more likely to leave negative feedback than those who pay with electronic methods. So starting in late October, 2008, we are moving to 100% electronic payments - credit cards, ProPay, or PayPal. </p><p><br /></p><p>This means that sellers will be able to offer credit card payments through their own merchant accounts, and payments through ProPay and/or PayPal, with all payment methods integrated into the checkout process on eBay. Seller will also get paid faster and be able to ship items quicker. And remember, for those buyers and sellers who use PayPal, we&#039;re backing every eligible transaction with our buyer and seller protections.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><font size="4">Also I don&#039;t see where they are limiting S&amp;H much either!</font></b></p><p>&quot;In addition to shipping incentives, we&#039;re introducing limits on shipping and handling charges in one of our biggest and most competitive categories, Media (Books, DVDs &amp; Movies, Music and Video Games). </p><p><br /></p><p>This means that Media sellers will need to offer at least one shipping option within the specified limit. The dollar limits are fair, especially compared to what e-commerce competitors typically charge for shipping. With this move, we&#039;re also ensuring that buyers encounter fewer excessive shipping charges, which is the number one reason they leave the site.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
