Do NOT wait for PayPal to fix their so-called glitch
PoppaJ
Unless PayPal using tens of millions of dollars FREE for 11-days is a "scam."
It's a "glitch" in the most dangerous, non-bank payment platform in the world.
Two lawsuits are now being prepared for filing on the issue.

As noted, a phone call to PP will result in them putting the money in your account.

The newest "glitch" involves the inability to "move funds to a bank account."

You can accept other payment methods, you just need to turn on the option to do it. Currently you have selected the option for PayPal and so if you leave it blank you get that error.
If you scroll to the Decide How You'd Like to be Paid section and then click on Add or Remove Options you can then select your alternative payment methods. You'll see:
Independent merchant account credit cards
ProPay
Receive payment upon pickup
As long as you select one of the first two, you can then un-select PayPal as a payment option. You just need to have at least one online payment method on the listing.

eBay to Remove Negs for Sellers Impacted by PayPal eCheck Glitch
By Ina Steiner

(UPDATED) November 07, 2008
eBay will remove negative feedback for transactions affected by PayPal's eCheck glitch, according to PayPal spokesperson Michael Oldenburg. He also said the majority of pending payments have been released. There are a few sellers left whose funds have not yet been released, which PayPal will address over the next few days. He could not provide data on how many accounts had been affected, but said it was "an extremely small percentage of PayPal accounts."
The problem occurred for over a week and prevented sellers from receiving eCheck payments into their accounts, even after they showed up as "cleared" by PayPal. Sellers had the choice of either sending items to buyers without having been paid, or hold off and risk receiving bad feedback from buyers angry for the delay in receiving their items. Sellers were also unable to automatically print shipping labels for those orders. Oldenburg said once the funds are released, sellers would regain that functionality. In the interim, they can create a manual label.
eBay will remove negative and neutral feedback - and low DSR scores - to those transactions affected by the eCheck issue, according to Oldenburg. "This is definitely not a traditional recourse," he said, but "it could have an impact on people's business." PayPal will share a list of sellers affected by the problem with eBay over the next several days, and eBay will monitor feedback for 60 days (the length of time a buyer can leave feedback). Sellers will be able to check to make sure eBay removes negative and neutral feedbacks of affected transactions, but they may be unable to check DSRs, since eBay lets buyers leave DSRs anonymously.
Sellers had questioned whether eBay would extend interest on held funds to them. For sellers enrolled in PayPal's Money Market, eBay will pass along the interest they would have earned had the money been in their accounts. But for those who had wanted to withdraw their money and deposit it in their own interest-bearing accounts, they are out of luck if they are not enrolled in PayPal's Money Market.
