I have used a Pathos Classic One MKIII for about 10 years now and enjoy it very much. 
Done selling on eBay, they are demanding my social security number to sell
With managed payments, PayPal is out of the chain except if the buyer uses it for payment. eBay now manages all the payments including collecting the appropriate sales tax for each state from the buyer. I live in a state with no sales tax, however... 
eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough.
riaa - You do not have to have a label printer, you can print the label on a regular piece of paper, cut to size and tape to the package. Also there is a good discount by buying the label from eBay verses the post office. Labels from FedEx & U...

" And the fact that they also HOLD THE MONEY THE BUYER HAS PAID FOR SHIPPING, REQUIRING THE SELLER TO UPFRONT THE SHIPPING COSTS OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET.... well, I can’t understand how that’s even legal."- I have never had that happen and I have...

" Time for me to rethink the use of eBay and PayPal."- You don't need a PayPal account to buy & sell on eBay anymore. 
eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough.
Well, this does not happen the way you have described. Are you a new eBay member? Do you have a selling record? You made a mistake by not charging for shipping and not purchasing your shipping label through the eBay system. You get a discount. You... 
Wholesale prices
