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 ?

My link, Lyndal, gave an example whereby the "vast majority" of ebay users in the 2nd biggest EU trading place did not
use paypal but used other payment methods contrasting PJs statement.
She bought up other trading places.... not me.
I also suggested that open invoices were a far, far safer method for buyers to purchase and if they were available on other ebay sites then the "vast majority" of buyers would use that payment mode leaving PP out in the cold
If ebay was truly driven by buyer purchase security (as they tout) rather than peripheral profit then they would have
allowed the open invoice system to be used on those sites previously to paypals sale although,since the PP sale I can
now see the open invoice system coming as ebays new scammer panacea)
..... I detest hypocrisy and this is just another example of what ebay is best at.

just one independant link to some figures that confirms that the vast majority of users preferred PP over other payment
methods might help as well.
I showed you mine...... now you show me yours
