Is it true that if one is selling something on eBay that they have to accept PayPal as one of the payment options and they have no choice not to?

"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."

    I think the rules are that sellers have to accept electronic payment (paypal preferred) and are allowed to take checks/money orders if the buyer requests.

    Ebay rules are randomly applied so your actual results may vary.

    <<I think the rules are that sellers have to accept electronic payment (paypal preferred) and are allowed to take checks/money orders if the buyer requests>>

    So the bottom line is that I HAVE to accept PayPal and this is just another way for eBay to get more fees?

    Sellers need to offer one or more of the following electronic payment choices:

    PayPal

    ProPay

    Moneybookers

    Paymate

    Credit card or debit card processed through the seller's Internet merchant account

    Additionally, payment upon pickup and Bill Me Later are valid payment methods as well.

    Payment methods not allowed on eBay:

    For most categories, sellers can't ask buyers to:

    Send cash through the mail

    Send cash or money orders through instant, point-to-point cash transfer services (that are not banks) such as Western Union or MoneyGram

    Mail checks or money orders (except for items in categories specifically permitted below)

    Pay through bank-to-bank transfers (except for items in categories specifically permitted below)

    Pay by "topping off" a seller's prepaid credit or debit card

    Pay using online or other payment methods not specifically permitted in this policy

    I am actually trying to help my brother sell something. He has very little feedback and I see no option for Buy It Now. Is this because he is a new seller and as a result this option is not allowed?

    If you don’t see the option to enter a Buy It Now price, you don’t meet the requirements for selling at a fixed price.
