Losing Customers Due to eBays new payment policies

[Archive]

An interesting topic and one close to my heart. I just purchased a card and despite sending an email asking if it were okay to purchase and pay with a cashiers check, I got no response for nearly two weeks after the closing. I bid on it anyway, was high bidder, emailed three times asking for name and address and got a snotty remark about not being able to read!
I do find many other sellers who respond affirmatively to cashiers check or money order but some auctions show "Paypal required" and you cannot bid on these items without a credit card number. Ebay will lose customers over this!
