Pelican Parts Forums - More Ebay Garbage

Okay, seems Ebay is now going to away consumers rights by demanding all payments are made through paypal. Direct deposit etc will not be allowed. Another money grab by Ebay. So how long before we have Paypal Bank. When a buyer pays via paypal it takes 3-5 days to get your money. The mongrels have it in their account why does it take 3-5days. How long before the same thing happens in the U.S.

We're making it safer for all our members to trade on eBay.com.au. To ensure members use only the most secure payment methods, it will soon be required to offer PayPal on all listings on eBay.com.au.

When will this occur?
Changes will be introduced in two stages:

1. All items listed for sale on eBay.com.au on or after 21 May 2008 must offer PayPal as one of the payment methods.

2. All items appearing on eBay.com.au as of 17 June 2008 must be paid for using one of the following:

1. PayPal
2. Pay on pick up (i.e. paid for when picking up the item)
3. Visa/MasterCard (with transactions processed by PayPal).

No other payment methods will be permitted.

Please note a small number of categories are excluded from these changes. Find out about these exclusions.

In line with these enhancements to safety we are introducing unprecedented levels of protection for buyers and sellers:

* Increased PayPal Buyer Protection – up to AU$20,000
For eligible items purchased on or after 17 June 2008, PayPal Buyer Protection will increase to a maximum of $20,000 (based on the full value of your purchase, including postage).

* New PayPal Seller Protection
PayPal Seller Protection has also recently been introduced to provide sellers with an unprecedented level of protection in the unlikely event of a claim or chargeback arising from an item not received buyer dispute or an unauthorised payment (eg from a stolen credit card).
