Why would a seller?

Very good question, Shop. Sometimes they are using a service that does their listing book keeping and all. Normally, you can still pay with paypal so the protections are in place ( well, if you believe what paypal tells you). You just get there via the host's route. And Morning!

Thank you Mrs. M.
It still gives me the willies! Luckly it is only a lower priced item, soooo...I guess I'll take a chance. Good morning.

"Shop" and My Snipes

You're welcome! Good luck! To ease your mind, I have bought many, many things like that. It really is not a problem, just the way they have their stuff setup.

I've run across that many times too. Sometimes the seller has two different Paypal accounts - one for credit cards and one for other methods.

Yes, I am a seller too. That is exactly what they are doing. Sellers will have one account (personal account) excepts PayPal balance transfer or e-checks. Seller is not charged any service charges by PayPal for that.

Seller has secondary account (premier or business account) for buyers to use their charge card payment. PayPal charges the Seller a fee for the charge card payments.

However, I use E-Bay checkout as those other sellers don't. I put in my payment description to contact before you pay with a charge card. You would be surprised, though, how many people to not read the payment terms. If they pay to my personal account with a charge card -- I just deny payment and send an email then with my (premier or business) account name. That way I am still using the E-Bay secure checkout system for my buyers.

Thank you for explaining it, Susan, from a seller's point of view!

As an ebay seller, I can't tell you how frustrating that is. Payment within 7 days means just that. Contact me within 3 days means just that. Why don't they READ?? Ok, I'm done now.

No problem with that, but; I only check my email (at home, that is) once a day in the evening. By then, after the normal exchange of emails, we are down to 5 days. Now I have to get a money order and send it off in the mail (another day); so now I have to hope that the eagle flies straight and true and hope you get my payment within the allotted time.
