My auctions were cancelled for asking Buyers to pay by way of instant bank transfer, no credit cards, and if you have a Premier acct. there are definitely charges big time for us here in the States. Interesting information from you. I had my settings in Paypal so that I didn't accept credit cards, so I thought. I went in to my account and my settings DID accept credit cards, and were no knowing changed by myself. Ebay/Paypal says in their terms that if you use Paypal as a payment method in your auctions, you MUST accept credit cards and can not set terms of payment. Please see Ebay's email to me.
Dear nholsted52,
We appreciate that you chose eBay to list the following listing(s):
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
However, your listing was in violation of eBay's Paypal Payments policy and has
been removed from eBay. We have credited all associated fees to your account
and notified eBay users associated with the transaction that it has been
cancelled.
We would like to take this opportunity to let you know what part of your
listing is not permitted.
Your listing(s) contains the following information:
I PREFER PAYPAL payments, I DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS THROUGH PAYPAL.
PLEASE note that my PayPal account is NOT set up to receive credit card payments
(existing PayPal balance, e-check, or funds from your linked bank account are
perfectly acceptable).
Sellers who offer PayPal as a payment option in the listing process must accept
all forms of PayPal payment, without restriction.
For example, it is *not* permitted to state:
"I only accept cash transfers with PayPal (no credit cards)"
"I only accept payments with PayPal over $15"
Sellers must have a Premier or Business PayPal Account or be willing to upgrade
from a Personal PayPal Account to a Premier or Business Account if sellers
receive a credit card payment. Sellers may not communicate to buyers that they
accept, or will not accept, specific forms of PayPal payment.
Please be aware that you are not required to use PayPal as an accepted form of
payment for your listings. However, we hope that you will realize the
protection and convenience that PayPal offers.
