Thread: Purchasing Hand Tools on Ebay

If you like to sell or purchase hand tools on Ebay,
well here is some news from our old friends at Ebay.
They purport to be making Ebay safer, but really this looks like a cheap attempt to generate more commission for Paypal.
Certainly paypal is quick and reliable, but, by removing most other methods, they are cornering the sales commissions for themselves.

From 21 May you must offer PayPal on all your listings as well as currently permitted payment methods.
From 17 June you will only be able to offer PayPal on your listings and pay on pick up (i.e.paid for when picking up the item).
Pay on pick up can only be offered in conjunction with PayPal. No other payment methods will be permitted.

Of course all buyers will have to have Paypal as well.
Rejoice and be glad all you Ebayers.
Grinding and gnashing of teeth
