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...

another vote against A'gon....and I am not sure I agree with others who blame Paypal..... While there maybe something that paypal is driving at....I  don't believe A'gon is just an innocent bystander.
I can still use Paypal on US Audiomart and many other trading websites without all that nonsense of declaring myself a business....so clearly somehow the explanation given here by the Admin, doesn't reflect the reality on many other websites.
The fact that I can't even list an item for sale here now, unless I accept Swipe or register as a Business with paypal is the major issue for me and a reason I will NOT post anything for sale anymore here.
I am now posting on US Audiomart and posting at ebay.
Ebay has its crazy fees but at least I can post there for free  and without any prerequisites and then deal with a buyer when I find one.
True - A'gon has been the most successful and has attracted the biggest audience but I believe this will change now....soon there will be fewer and fewer private sellers and more dealers.

But after all that rant - everyone can run their business the way they want...so I will just take mine elsewhere.. I do want to thank them for great past and helping me find good deals... no hard feelings...
Hope you will reverse your policy......till then.
bye
