when i read about that on tuliptools (and then went to the ebay forums) i never noticed the auctiva bit, was too focused on the pp thing. too funny!
Fine exmaple of one of the reason I don't bother with their boards. I find better answers here from those who have survived.

bottom line is the seller is not flying the PAYPAL logo or eBay's paypal logo so he is NOT in violation of any eBay Policies. eBay policy is that you must accept all forms of Paypal ONLY if you fly the Paypal logo in any description.

from http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/paypal-payments.html w/bolding by me
quote:
Sellers who offer PayPal as a payment option on eBay (either using logos or text in the item description) must accept all forms of PayPal payment including account balance, bank account transfer, and credit cards. 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.
Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:
- Listing cancellation
- Forfeiture of eBay fees on cancelled listings
- Limits on account privileges
- Loss of PowerSeller status
- Account suspension
Some Examples
Listings Allowed:
- “I accept all forms of PayPal payment"
Listings Not Allowed:
- “I accept PayPal but do not accept credit card payments through PayPal”
- “I only accept PayPal if the bid amount is greater than $15”
I don't get why the guy (apparently) isn't filing a non-performing seller.
or why someone else hasn't turned him in. Lord knows there are enough "eBay police" out there.
Yeah, it seems like a lot of the eBay forums posters are crazy about reporting. Maybe the guy was reported but eBay treats employees differently? Who knows.
It seems like eBay would take immediate action just to save face.
