1.) Unless the names of the “non-bidder” are disclosed, I’m assuming it is shill bids of the house.
2.) A little quick to have the cards up on Ebay, and what does the consignor get? The Ebay price minus the Ebay and PayPal fees, minus the “friend” shipping it fee, minus a vig, even though the consignor consigned for a non-Ebay auction? Why not run them again in the next auction and call out any non-payment bidders?

Cory he doesn't take Paypal. I have yet to run across another ebay seller who doesn't take Paypal. Daniel, care to explain?

I thought not taking PayPal was against eBay policy?

Apparently this is a recent change as I have run into other sellers who are no longer accepting PP for ebay purchases. I figure this is now allowed by ebay due to upcoming split between PP and ebay. For buyers on ebay, at least as of now, they are not eligible for ebay bucks if a CC is used. So when there is a 8-10% back in ebay bucks and you are counting on that to offset some of your purchase price, make sure the seller accepts PP.

ebay never required sellers to take paypal but did require them to use another online payment method or offer their own in house merchant account.

Peter,

There are MANY eBay sellers who don't accept PayPal. If you have your own internet merchant account you don't have to accept PayPal on eBay. Getting your own merchant account is a long process which is why most people just give in and accept PayPal. We already have a merchant account for Candiman Auctions so why pay PayPal a higher fee? Isn't it smart business to save as much on expenses as possible when running a business?

Not really when most people who would buy from you expect to pay by paypal. Sure works for every seller I have ever dealt with and that is hundreds. Before you go can you confirm or deny lexus1584? Inquiring minds want to know.
