Ebay selling - annoying!

[spaced]

Anyone else find it annoying when you sell something on ebay and you only have a personal paypal accout, meaning you can only accept payment via PayPal, and people STILL proceed to try and pay using a debit/credit card via their Business/Premier PayPal account! AArrrrgh!! I have had to refuse 2 people twice as they continue to try and pay me using a card! PAYPAL ONLY.....GET IT?!?

i dont really understand why you are so worked up ... a business paypal account is still a paypal account, surely? so when you say you accept paypal, the people with paypal accounts think they can pay with them. What is so wrong in that. If you are that irate, upgrade to a premier account yourself so you can accept them

understand the difference between the two different paypal accounts and costs involved, then make a comment.

I do understand PayPal very well - but if you are advertising the PayPal logo, you should accept payment from credit/debit cards as well.

Why don't you ditch the paypal and accept bank transfers? Many people choose to use PayPal because of the extra protection they may get from the credit card company.

You could upgrade your paypal account - I found that I have a lot more bidders, at a higher price, simply by taking all forms of PayPal payments. The costs are easily absorbed.

i do understand the differences between the paypal accounts .. if you adverise that you accept paypal, but dont say that you dont accept premier accounts, no wonder you get people trying to pay that way. I know it costs to accept a credit/debit card payment.

By the way, if every one was only limited to making comments about things they knew about, then 90% of peoples answers wouldn't be here!

WOW I like to see a bit of attitude.
In spaced's defence, I have sold very little on eBay and accept only paypal, I was not aware that people can bid with some kind of paypal account that is not compatible with mine.

Seems very odd.

thank you. As a old buyer, but new seller I was not aware of these 2 different accounts
