The other day I bought 11 Barry Larkin cards from the same seller, all sold in auction format. $4.50 shipping per card. If multiple items bought, each additional item cost 50 cents. I would have never bid on these cards if I was going to be subjected to $50 shipping that I may or may not get back. And in my case, $50 came to more than the 11 cards totaled.

My card has also been hacked multiple times when I pay directly through Ebay. It has never been hacked through PayPal. My wife's credit card has never been hacked, but she also doesn't use Ebay. So we know that Ebay is the problem. Ebay is not safe for financial security. Since the last time my card was hacked, two years ago, I've only ever paid through PayPal. With that option removed through automatic payment, I have very little confidence that ebay can keep my informaiton secure.
