My reply:

"Why?"

The response:

"Why are we verifying the application submitted?"

My reply:

"Why are you contacting me on eBay using a user name from a different business?"

Their reply:

"Ah, apologies. This is one of our personal accounts. Your screenshot came through a bit distorted so we're making sure whomever sent the screenshot with the application actually owns the eBay account."

Seems a bit odd to me.

They rely on your eBay feedback to verify you. They use an account named "mypwccvaultaccount" to contact you because they want to usurp eBay's user agreement contract and get away with it.

They also lie about their fee structure. They advertise it as a 1% fee. But it's really 1% for the buyer, 1% for the seller, and 3% processing fee. So it's 5%.
