I have left messeges to 6 dealers on Ebay stating that while I want their film,I will not be forced to have a Paypal account.I suggest others do the same.Having had my banking info wind up where it shouldn,t once before by using a legit company to order from,where they always have too much stock,if you know what I mean,I would have to be 7 kinds of idiot to put my info online again.So fight back or lose the war.

I agree John. The only problem I have is I HATE sending money orders. I had my identity almost stolen once, but fortunately, they weren't able to get to my paypal.

But I agree, and i personally believe that it's just a way to make sure that they get every penny thier greedy hands can get to.

If you pay by money order, paypal/ebay doesn't get a cut of the selling of the film. With paypal, they do!

There's the REAL reason why they want to force everyone to go by paypal!

This has become a huge deal everywhere-- EBAY basically put up a big sign and said "poor people not wanted." I used to use MOs all the time and it worked great. The merchants liked them too because they could hide their receipts!

Don't blame them, though-- many smaller merchants are very unhappy about this no cash policy. I suspect it will change and EBAY will relent. They've been losing business.
