It is really unfortunate that Ebay finds it necessary to dictate to sellers how they should be paid. As of late October, Ebay will not allow sellers to allow payments to them (in exchange for their own property!) to be made via check or money order. This is, I believe, an example of a sad "big brother" aiititude. How does this constraint on sellers' activities help sellers? Shouldn't sellers be allowed to decide for themselves how they want to be paid? Perhaps this is just another scheme for compiling databases on buyers' activities via the tracking of electronic payment activity. Credit card companies do this all the time, by monitoring the nature of folks' credit card purchases. (This allows "targeted" marketing--and more "junkmail".) Do you have a problem with government "surveillance" activities? I would be just as worried about Ebay surveillance activities.
