I quit selling on ebay some time ago, back when they required direct access to a bank account, because I figured this kind of thing was coming.

It was a shame b/c things were going really good, but paypal was already too intrusive, and ebay just went too far.

They have wanted to do this kind of stuff for decades and finally got around to it.

So, for ebay, the only way to use it to my advantage is to buy but not sell.
And I will send Paypal funds to those who need it, but I won't receive paypal funds.

Stupid to go through that, but I'll sell locally for cash every time instead of all this stuff, if that's what it comes down to.
