e-bay vs direct buying from supplier

Hi there all, I was just wanting to let those that buy orchids on e-bay, due to their new rules about only being able to pay by paypal or on pickup, it is limiting the payment options and I personally will not be buying on that site again. I will be dealing with the dealers direct which is probably better for all. Maureen

EBay

Ebays greed knows no bounds - First we pay them to use their site, then we pay them when we sell, and now we pay them to get paid!! I'm going to buy direct for orchids now too.

E-Bay

I agree that E-Bay is getting too greedy for profit making on people who sell items on the site.At this stage you can still buy from sellers who still utilize the cheque/money order options as well as bank deposit but don't whether it will last.ACC is investigating.I feel these sellers do more business then the people who only provide the paypal option. Unfortunately the only way you can sell items on there is through having paypal which I still believe is grossly unfair. Paypal made provide security but it just like having a bank account with all the fees from every transaction asscoiated with it. Until people boycott this site E-bay won't change the rules and are laughing all the way to the bank and profits continue for the owners of E-bay.
