Being forced to use PayPal to pay upgrade fee

You were asked for more information because you gave your name as "No Name", your address as "No Address" and your city as "Timbuktu". These seemed a tad suspicious to our security staff and your account was held.

Aaaah well now......................................

That's cleared that up.

Always 2 sides to a story.

Thanks Gazza.

It really is unfortunate that you don't realize how much eBid members actually appreciate stringent checks and authorizations with new members as this helps to keep out the scammers (99% of the time) and make eBid a safer environment to do business with. Sadly, eBay is littered with con artists, scammers, thieves etc. and we don't want them here.

eBid use Paypal because it is accepted worldwide. I don't know of any other online payment processor that does that.
Also, eBid sellers/buyers are NOT forced to use Paypal as a payment method for selling/buying purposes. We can use whatever payment option we like.

Anyway, good luck in your selling ventures.

Well said,perhaps another stopped

Yes thanks Gazza.

It is always very interesting to see things from Ebids point of view.

Please keep up the good work

Well done for spotting this and sorting it.
