Ok, so if I don't want PayPal merchant status do I need to quit selling here? Without PayPal, it seems I will only be able to accept money orders as payment for stuff I sell here. However, even money orders do not afford the same protections as PayPal did.
There continue to be new listings here every day and even though there seems to be more business-sellers here than in the past, there are still private individuals using the site. I wonder if all of them have accepted the merchant status or if they may have some of the problems reported here when they finally conduct their transactions?
I have a bunch of stuff to sell and was waiting until the end of summer to take advantage of the historically better fall sales environment. I guess I will try something small to see how things go here without accepting PayPal as a payment method. I will probably start listing at USAM since they have indicated their agreement with PayPal does not require folks to accept merchant status, however that might change....seems like maybe an opportunity for another PayPal-like entity to step.
