But what I can't understand is why any seller would want to remove paypal as an option. I realise that under the current set up, they can't. But what I don't understand is why they would want to in the first place. That was the main point I was trying to make.
A lot of buyers love paypal. Personally, I look for it on all buying sites, not just ebay.
Exactly - as a seller I don't care by whatever means the buyer paid ebay, when the funds are in my account. As a buyer I use Paypal wherever possible - not only does it mean less 3rd parties knowing my credit card details but there is more protection with Paypal. Given how many reputable Australian businesses have Paypal as an option, it would seem they have no qualms receiving money that way.
Of course if a person were selling outside ebay and a buyer wanted a paypal invoice, the seller in that instance may not want to pay paypal their very small fee....
