RE: EBay's PayPal uses e-mail authentication to combat fraud

This is all very nice, but speaking as one who once had a paypal account, and has since closed it, I would like to know how it is that paypal can get between the buyer and seller by high-handedly determining just which payment method is to be used in a transaction? Paypal has spooked many a buyer by setting arbitrary and nonsensical sending limits and once these are reached demanding that one open one's bank accounts to them, or to get one of their credit cards in order to continue using their service. When a merchant tells me that I can use a credit card to purchase their product I take them at their word, only to discover that paypal has the final say and can scuttle a transaction without any recourse to appeal. In a real-world situation, if I order a product, I can be told that I have reached my $2000 lifetime sending limit and that is that. If I do not wish to play by their rules, and the merchant has no other credit card processing options, that sale will not be made. I have found that I can get around this by not opening a paypal account in the first place.

ebay has never been

ebay has never been concerned with stopping fraud, only in making as much money as they can. I can find scammers and rip off artists on ebay all day long. When ever I have turned them in to ebay I get a form letter and those same scammers are still there, week after week, month after month, year after year. Dont kid yourself. The way the new changes are being made is opening up the flood gates for scammers. Way too many people in the media writing stories about things they know nothing about. Check the ebay user forums for the truth about ebay not the press releases designed to move stock up........funny, stock down, other auction sites membership is moving up.

A highly recommended site is elfingo.com for online auctions. They are the new ebay. Many smaller sites like this offer buyers far better deals than ebay ever could. Buyser also save a ton because this site charges little or nothing depending on the day. One more reaso I like elfingo.com is because they don't take a part of the sale at all. No commissions or final value fees. A+++ http://www.elfingo.com
