May be a case of "know but won't sayitis".

I offer Skrill as my payment system on eBid. Have not had a problem receiving payment via Skrill. The last few buyers I have had, have asked to use Paypal after they bought my items. There was no explanation that they did not notice that I accept Skrill. Also accept money orders.

I have generally agreed to allow the Paypal payment, because I do understand that most buyers prefer Paypal. However, my decision not to use Paypal was based on several factors, including their higher fees. In cases where I accept the Paypal payment, I recover the increased cost by not discounting my s/h fees as much for combined shipping; or requesting the buyer to pick up the fee if they want to use Paypal.

Although I am willing to accommodate a buyer's request, I would appreciate it if the request came before the bid/buy. My payment methods are very clearly stated at top of listing, in listing description, and on my About Me page. It sort of makes me feel like I'm selling on eBay, and being forced to accept Paypal. Difference being instead of eBid forcing me; it is buyer pressure instead. I would just like to see the request before the buyer action, just saying.
