Yib, I salute your bravery... I'm honestly sorry to see anyone think that this site is focused on being negative about eBay or PayPal, as of course it's not. But when there IS something wrong, consumers have GOT TO BE FREE TO BE ABLE TO SAY SO.
Legitimate complaints must be able to be discussed. If many people are alarmed and unhappy and seeing a real and definite problem, what is the point in painting on a happy face and dancing about, singing "La la la la, I love PayPal"?
As probably everyone here knows, I use PayPal (occasionally and reluctantly) as a buyer. I don't sell on eBay. I do have a merchant account and can sell from other websites - to do with my profession(s). I have twice in my life accepted payments for web hosting via PayPal, and I vowed I would not do so again. It would be stupid; I pay a monthly total fee and no transaction fee for my merchant account and payment gateway, regardless of whether anyone pays me, hires me, books me or buys from me, so why would I wish to incur EXTRA fees to accept payment by PayPal? It makes no sense.
I've said I'm not a seller on eBay - and if I were, the mandatory nature of PayPal and the increasing control PayPal have exhibited and are continuing to exhibit would be enough to send me running away in the opposite direction.
