Ebay Squeezing the Small Seller Again

Country Joe's Collectibles Stuff shop, lots of interesting vintage collectibles, small antiques, postcards and other neat stuff from the 'Zillion Item Hoard' added every week. Approx. 5000 neat collectibles in stock.

**********************************
Looks like ebay is working hard at stomping on the small sellers again.

"Beginning in late October 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".

But I'll bet Google Checkout won't be included.

Not only will this hurt sellers it will also hurt buyers like myself who buy assorted collectibles from sellers who only accept checks or money orders, the guy cleaning out the attic, garage etc. or his relatives estate. People who aren't in the business per se. So unless they get a Paypal account they can't sell and I can't buy. Also many buyers don't want a Paypal account or don't have a credit card, now they are shut out.

See ya, Country Joe
