Following on from our announcement on 10th August 2007 we wanted to let you know that from mid-January we’ll be expanding our ongoing efforts to protect eBay buyers and sellers by only allowing PayPal to be offered as a payment option on certain listings.
We’ve looked at the results of the earlier payment restrictions that we put in place in August, and we’ve already seen a decrease in transactions where eBayers have been left dissatisfied. The safety of the eBay trading environment and prevention of fraud is very important to us, so we’ll continue to monitor and closely analyse the listings where we’ve restricted payment methods.
From around 10th January, PayPal will need to be the only payment method for sales in the following listings: - those that are set for a one-day auction
- those in the following categories:
- Computing > Software
- Consumer Electronics > MP3 Players
- Wholesale & Job Lots > Mobile & Home Phones
- Business, Office & Industrial > Industrial Supply / MRO
If you would like to sell in the categories, you’ll need to sign up for a PayPal account if you don’t already have one:
We appreciate your continuing support in helping to keep eBay a great place to buy and sell.
Regards,
The eBay Team
