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...

My feeling is PayPal will use business accounts sales data to eventually report uncollected sales tax to the state you live in.  Also, audio mart has worked very well for me for over $30,000.00 in sales.  Not sure why someone would make up a story about them being a poor choice unless they were banned for fraud or deceptive ads.

Audiogon WILL allow sellers to accept other forms of payment besides PayPal ONLY if you become a registered business user here on Audiogon.
When was this communicated?  Did I miss another memo?
I thought the "registered business user" was a PayPal thing.  I was not aware that is a classification by Audiogon.

It may never have been general communication.
I only know for two reasons.
1/ prior to the change I once accepted a check to then be told by Agon I could not do that and only business members could accept a check.
2/ they offered me separately a business membership at discount.

minorl"Clearthink; Apologies but I am not misinformed. What I wrote was 100% correct. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you slam others...So, before you slam me, maybe you should do your homework...Until then, back off."

Ha ha ha you are confused, incorrect, and disoriented the site is filled with sellers offering options other than Paypal all you have to do is peruse it but I guess you would rather insult others and make demands of them instead of actually collecting information, data, and facts and I am very sorry to have to inform you that I will not "back off" fella.
