What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away

i may have over reacted... for some reason PayPal wants to drive me into a business account. Looks like the fees are the same so not sure what that is all about, I'm just suspicious by nature

If you switch to a business account which is pretty easy you get a merchant ID, enter it here, and move on. If you don't want to do that then they make it very complicated to fill out forms, etc. I gave up and switched to business, made up a bogus business name and am moving on...

Are you guys serious? Am I reading this correctly? It will be necessary for both myself as a seller and for my buyers to adopt PayPal Business accounts so that we can complete simple transactions for items being sold on this site?
I have been buying and selling here for almost 20 years and have a hard time believing this. Was there no general announcement from Audiogon explaining what they were doing and why? Did I miss something?
Geoff, are you not already a business?

As far as I am aware there was just a tiny header popped up when I logged into the Gon about 5 days ago and that was it.
No large blurb or even an email would have been nice.
I guess if you missed it well then you missed it as far as the Gon is concerned.
And I refuse to sign up as business just to satisfy PayPal because I AM NOT a business and never will be.

Basically.... screw PayPal...….

"Audio Mart sucks."

I have bought and sold tens of thousands of dollars in audio stuff... without so much as a hiccup in doing so...with no fees mind you...  A+ in my book!
