Reply to ""Other" option on payment methods"

"Other" allows buyers to pay via a method that is not automated by eBay. For example, if you want to pay via PayPal, you get a special checkout page. If you want to pay via Money Order or Check, you get another checkout page which you are advised to print out and send along with the payment.

This option is useful when the buyer cannot (or will not) accept one payment method or the other. For example, my auctions are set up so only Paypal and Other are accepted payment methods. It allows people without a Paypal account to bid, but also prevents people from trying to pay with a money order.

Oh, using BidPay was forbidden for a while, but then eBay decided it was fine. Then the service was shut down, and then was bought out by another company and reopened. So, uh, there.
