As somebody mentioned already, this is in Beta right now. Apparently the seller mentioned in the first post agreed to be part of the beta program. Then Ebay decided to hamstring to sellers who agreed to be in their program and actually try and help them out, and told them they can't ever opt out once they are in, and they can no longer accept Paypal.
Really one of the silliest things I've ever seen Ebay do.
It's really amazing how many times they've shot themselves in the foot, simply so they can limit interaction between buyer and seller, and save themselves a few pennies in off site deals.
They've cost themselves big money AND customers hand over foot, literally chasing pennies and trying to bring down the hammer on all their sellers in the process.
Total greed move, spinning off Paypal to raise funds, and then deciding to sabotage it, and start all over again from scratch.
It's all very slimy.
