In reply to the discussion: Would you use a bank with these rules? [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)10. You can't sell on ebay without paypal and you can't mention checks or money orders
You cannot use Amazon's payment, you cannot mention checks/moneyorders/ or cash in any American listing (based in America)
There are a few exceptions, but most don't have it-
You can use your own credit cards, by law they have to, however, they can also make any/all items disappear from search.
the post office has lost it is estimated over $1 million dollars a day in buyers not being able to without special individual permission by the seller (i.e. NO mention on auction) in lost fees they used to get nationwide.
That alone would offset the losses the PO has.

Problem is, my understanding is that the alternative may be "you lose all your money".
