eBay Shafting the Sellers Even More in 2009
They are now telling you how much to charge on shipping.
This doesn't work, I had a heavy book I wanted to send media mail, the cheapest way for the customer and the most I could charge was $4.00. I had to pay the rest just to ship it.

Checks and money orders no longer allowed
What's changing with payments on eBay?
Beginning October 20 2008, checks and money orders will no longer be allowed as payment methods on eBay. All items appearing on eBay.com must be paid for using either:
* PayPal (funded by PayPal account balance, credit card, debit card, bank account, PayPal Pay Later, PayPal Buyer Credit or eBay gift certificate)
* Credit or debit card payment to a seller (through a seller's Internet merchant account)
* ProPay
* Payment upon pickup
In January 2009, all of the approved electronic payment methods will be integrated into eBay checkout. For example, if a seller offers credit or debit card as a payment option, buyers will be able to directly enter their credit card information securely in eBay checkout and their payment will be directly routed to the seller's Internet merchant account.
We are also working with other electronic payment providers currently included in our Accepted Payments Policy to integrate their services into eBay checkout in 2009.
This one is ok but a change and another eBay new rule for sellers
Hi everyone...Good news for sellers who are in the process of updating their listings to prepare for the holiday season. We had previously announced that specifying both your Return Policy and Handling Time would be made mandatory in late October. However, given the breadth of changes we're asking sellers to make to their listings this year, we're giving sellers a reprieve on these two items until after the holiday season.
My post about eBay losing money in 2008 was on the National news, just wait until they make everyone use PayPal to buy everything....they haven't seen anything yet. What I see is with eBay awful rules of 2008 then these of 2009, they will see what losing sales is all about shortly.
I am a powerseller with a store and I have a friend that accepts checks and money orders almost exclusively, he is a the highest level powerseller, platinum, I think. Anyway when they enforce this PayPal only payment he says it is his last day of selling on eBay.
What they really are doing is trying to force the buyer and seller both to use their services only...since eBay owns PayPal. I'll tell you one thing..Craigslist is gong to see a boost in their listings for sure. What a shame....to ruin a good thing like eBay was before all the changes of 2008 and 2009, not counting their outrageous fees they have now.
New eBay CEO anyone?
