Moneybookers is the way to go with ebay after paypal 21 day hold announced

  • Want to break up the monopoloy? Moneybookers is now an autorized payment service for ebay buyers and sellers.

    Ebay/Paypal announced that they would be holding the sellers money for 21 days or until the buyer left a positive feedback. WTF, most buyers do not even leave feedback, they just want their product, and are not interested in playing the ebay feedback game. Now sellers will have to get the buyer to please leave them feedback or wait out the 21 days that paypal get to keep your money. Sounds crazy but it is true.

ebay's policy on acceptable payment methods http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/methods.html

I read on auctionbytes that after ebay banned money order and checks basically forcing everyone to use their fully owned payment service paypal, that floods of complaints were sent to the attorney generals office.

I guess ebay figured busted, we had better allow some other alternatives, but started with services that were very expensive.

Anywho looks like moneybookers is the way to go for now, but I truly believe ebay is digging it own hole as they are the most untrustworthy company I have seen in a long time with their mandory changes every 30 days or so. Thoughts anyone?
