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...

Is this issue being initiated by PayPal or by Audiogon?

Still waiting for the thoughts of Audiogon regarding this matter.

Audio Mart is underrated.  I don't get why anyone would want to fork over another unnecessary fee for what should be a free service.

Why should advertising be a “free service”? There are certainly costs associated with maintaining this site and I believe this is a business and not a charity or tax-funded government entity.  Did you ever place a for-sale ad in a newspaper - we paid for those too. In terms of advertising power, it is probably the most-viewed audio site for sales of used stuff.....I just hope they don’t screw it up.
