What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away

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.

 

Would you like your credit card information passed around without your knowledge? Perhaps you’d really like AG to tell you that you paid the seller directly when you know you didn’t.  Lastly, I know you’d love AG to say they’re working on letting their customers know how payments are going to be handled. It’s just that they’re not quite ready to do that yet. 
For those sellers reading this, are you able to specify PayPal as a source of payment? Or does AG push for credit card transactions through Stripe?

Agon is not being upfront with its users...

As a seller the ONLY option I am allowed to offer is PayPal.
Unless I as the seller register for a Stripe account then that form of payment is not offered . If I did register for Stripe then I could offer both PayPal, Stripe or either or.

Members with a business account can offer to accept payment by check additionally.

So right now it looks like your seller must have been the one who set their payment to accept Stripe only.
