Wow this is a good decision. People should not be forced to use PayPal if they don't want to. Sounds like a scam to get more money for Ebay :(

They force a policy change that I didn't agree to so they closed my account. Well I told them some choice words anyhow long story short they not to be trusted. :nope:

Yea I noticed that.
I have a paypal account and sold something, transferred the money etc. Then a month after I sold the item I noticed paypal had dedited my account? What for though it didn't say. Probably the commission but I thought they took that at source from what ever went into your paypal account.

That's what everyone said here in Australia. They shot themselves in the foot awhile back when they said the biggest problem they had to deal with was not paymnet but problems with delivery.:88)
