    I was a victim of this. I listed Paypal, Western Union, Moneygram and Cash as payments options. I received 3 different messages, one for every not approved payment option.They removed only the record that has bidders at that moment

    I removed those options and instead I uploaded the logos of WU and Moneygram

    are you serious? that is probably the biggest bullshit ever...if that's the case...Ebay just got even wacker...

    I'm totally serious. Here:

    Unfortunately, eBay removed your listing because it violated the eBay Accepted Payments policy. The violation occurred when you included the following information in your listing:

    Western Union

    The eBay Accepted Payments policy promotes safe online shopping by encouraging the use of reliable and easy to use online payment methods that offer members high levels of protection.

    Sellers aren't allowed to ask buyers to send payments through instant cash transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram. These payment methods don't meet eBay's standards for safety, convenience, and reliability.

    Because we would be unable to verify that the payment was received by the appropriate person, eBay's Standard Purchase Protection Program does not cover items paid for with instant cash transfer services.

    For more information on the eBay Accepted Payments policy, please visit:

    http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/accepted-payments-policy.html



    Please note: violation of this or other eBay policies may result in forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings, limits on account privileges and account suspension.

    Thank you for your understanding.


    Sincerely,

    eBay Trust & Safety

    in other words, use just Paypal or die.

    I got auctions yanked on this too, but here's the thing. It should be ok to say you accept cash, as long as you don't mention in an envelope/in the mail/registered, etc. Paying cash for stuff in person is acceptable, and they don't know you mean otherwise.
    Peace

    Western Union and Money Gram are the money transfer system of choice for scammers and thiefs. Like-it-or-not it's for the greater good that Ebay ban these types of payment options. My dumbass cousin almost got taken for $1200 by a Western Union scam but the clerk at the Western Union asked him why he was sending so much money to the UK. Clerk was straight with him and said it sounded like a scam.

    i have heard unconfirmed rumours that ebay has done a deal with the taxman regarding it's stores, sold all the sellers details in a database?

    and in the uk they got themselves a robot
