eBay Payments: How it’s changed

by aGenius

If you’re an eBay seller, you might know that eBay has settled upon restricting payment methods.

Take a look at http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/accepted-payments-policy.html for the current information.

Choice words here include “Sellers aren’t allowed to:

Ask buyers to contact them for additional payment methods
Offer a payment method to some buyers and not to others
Discourage buyers from using any payment method the seller specified in the listing
Ask buyers to pay using a method not mentioned in the listing.”

The bottom line is that eBay is now restricting payment methods *in most categories* to exclude checks and money orders. Feeling a pinch of fees coming on? Yes we agree.
