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...

So in the case of @jdt1 can we assume Stripe was the credit card processor for the seller?  Odd that information wouldn't have been disclosed.  I would hope that Stripe would be authorized to keep @jd1's "credit card and personal information" on-file, unless he actually signed up for a Stripe account.    
I recently made three rather large transactions as a seller on USAM and all three were excellent.  In two of the transactions, I was thankful to be able to arrange hand-delivery of the equipment and especially my two very heavy (95 lb) monoblock amplifiers.  In the other case, payment as usual through PayPal went very smooth.  Reminded me of how things used to be here.

I too have recently made usam transactions, 5 in total both sales and purchase.
All went very smoothly with PayPal being no hassle in any.

Making me wonder what is truly going  on with Agon.......

eBay still accepts PayPal. If you’re required to use your ID #, it’s under your account. AG support says that Stripe processed the payment, not them. I sent AG a screenshot of the payment made to them. They still state that I paid the seller. I don’t care about the size of stripe or anything else. If a third party is going to handle payment, I want to be taken to their site just as I am when I use PayPal. I didn’t sign up to use stripe and was never given the opportunity to use another payment method. Why not?

in these days of heightened awareness of online privacy and security, I want to know who gets my info. And whether or not I want them to have it.

Absolutely, I agree. 
Correction to my post below, the second "would" should have been "wouldn't" so it should have read:
I would hope that Stripe wouldn't be authorized to keep @jd1's "credit card and personal information" on-file, unless he actually signed up for a Stripe account.
