Of course, none of the above are 'required' ways to make payment, as you
so stated earlier. It is always up to the seller's descretion to accept
any of the above and/or personal check for payment. In other words, Ebay
does NOT require payment by any of the above, they merely suggest methods
of payment, contrary to what you've been saying.

 RB> Interestingly, payment with things like checks, money orders, or the
 RB> use of Western Union and MoneyGram are forbidden except in certain
 RB> categories, as are direct account to account transfers (a fascinating
 RB> limitation in European eyes).

European eyes don't know the ropes very well and should especially pay
attention to what they tell you. Payment by check in many catagories
requires a cashiers check or bank draft. All of this is to prevent fraud
by the seller and/or buyer.

 RB> So my original statement was in error, and your reply (rhetorical
 RB> question) was as well.

Not really. As an active buyer/seller on Ebay, I know what I can and
cannot do there.

 RB> Check the facts again. I did, which is why I'm explaining them here.

You missed a lot of information that a seller should know. Being active in
the Ebay blogs helps as well.
