Ebay and PayPal now seperate companies

[bluefaff]

Can Ebay continue to force sellers to accept payment by Paypal as the preferrde method of payment?

If so is it legal?

CanEbay access sellers Paypal account to withdraw and place on hold payments ?

Hmmm open invoice eh??

 ebay UK does not allow open invoice......Hmm now who would glean all that yummy profit from an open invoice??

vast - of very great extent or quantity; immense

majority- the greater number

If ebay UK allowed open invoices.... how do you think  your figures would stack up then PJ?

Why does ebay UK US AUS not allow the payment mode that is the largest in the second largest european etrade

market......

Germany is the EU’s second largest e-commerce market behind the UK, worth €39 billion in sales, and expected to grow 24.8% in 2014 as reported by the Bundesverbands des Deutschen Versandhandels.

Last year was also the first time e-commerce sales surpassed 10% of total retail sales, with 11.2% reported.

Clearly, Germany’s e-commerce market is flourishing, with sales amongst our partners showing a similar level of growth.

As a result of the historic growth with catalogue shopping, the German consumer has a very particular profile in terms of

online payments preferences:

Open invoice (where the payment is wired by the customers only once they received the package with the

invoice) account for 30-35% of market share.

PayPal is very popular, with another 30% market share.

SofortÜberweisung, a real-time banking provider, is also fairly popular, with a share of 15%

Lastly, only about 20% of online transactions use credit cards. Germans prefer using debit cards (EC-Karte) which have

limitations when buying online.

What has Open Invoicing got to do with anything that PJ has said?

Not correct.

Sellers can list with any one of 3 safe payment methods....paypal, Paymate or Merchant Credit Facility, although in the future ebay will not be supporting Paymate.   But that will still leave a choice of 2 safe payment methods.
