eBay has stopped letting me list new items for sale until I sign up for there new payment method.  From what I understand they link to your bank account and if a auction goes wrong they can go into your bank account and take the money out of it. Am I miss understanding this?  Does anyone else have a problem with this?  Any help understanding the new rules would be appreciated.

I think the require your PayPal to be linked to a bank account for security.

Actually I think that as the OP mentioned is to make sure that sellers do pay their listings bills.

For buyers there is no added security in letting them know, rather the opposite.

Mine has always been tied to a credit card where they could charge me any fees.  Now they want to be able to go into my bank account without me having any control?  There are never any problems until there are problems and your fighting for 3 months to get your rent money back. Mabey I'm being paranoid but I never let anyone have access to my bank account.

I agree with you 100%. A credit card or PayPal authorization is more than enough for Ebay. I do have my utilities directly debited to a bank account but here in Europe that's common, credit cards are not universal and companies do the possible avoid their fees when possible.

That's why you open another checking account in the same bank solely for use with on-line transactions.

You can transfer in and out electronically, but the potential loss is severely limited and always in your control. They impose no limits on how much must be in the account...

The incredible (for rest of the word) feature of electronic banking in the USA is that one can initiate transfers from the receiving account as long both belong to the same person (SSN?). Doesn't seem very secure to me.

That has not been my experience. 
 

Every  personal check has your bank account and routing number printed on it. Even with that information (on top of the name and address of the account, printed on the check), you cannot initiate a withdrawal without the consent of the account holder.

Of course you can't. But both HSBC and Citi allow to link an account from another bank which is in the same name, and initate transfers from the receiving side. End of the off topic.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By mikepilk · Posted

      As I'm only cleaning watches in small numbers at home, I pre-clean any significant deposits of old grease and oil before using the cleaning solutions. I scrape off deposits with pegwood and Rodico, and if really dirty, wash parts in naphtha with a brush.  So I'm happy using DX, but can understand why it's avoided by the pros.

      Any tips to correct a sloppy error?

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think attaching a nut to the lid to pull it off is the least destructive, any damage damage on the outside is going to an easier fix than any created when trying to push it out from the inside. Scratching up the inside of the lid , mainspring or arbor bearing will be risk. Just my opinion.

      yes the things we read in the universe I did see some where it was either difficult to clean off or it contaminated the cleaning fluid there was some issue with cleaning. I was trying to remember something about grease where as opposed to a substance of a specific consistency they were suggesting it had a base oil with something to thicken it. That conceivably could indicate that the two could separate and that would be an issue. But there is something else going on here that I had remembered so I have a link below and the description of the 9501 notice the word that I highlighted? Notice that word appears quite a bit on this particular page like 9415 has that property all so they 8200 mainspring grease and that definitely has to be mixed up when you go to use it because it definitely separates. just in case you didn't remember that nifty word there is a Wikipedia entry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thixotropy   https://www.moebius-lubricants.ch/en/products/greases I wonder if what you're seeing is the boron nitride left behind after cleaning. In other words it's the high-pressure part of the grease and it's probably embedding itself into the metal which is why it doesn't clean off and shouldn't be a problem?

      Yes and no. I use Moebius 9501 synthetic grease and it is significantly runnier than the Moebius 9504 synthetic grease (and I assume Molykote DX) that I previously used. I haven't seen 9504 spread and it is in my opinion the best grease money can buy. However, my current method of cleaning doesn't remove it from the parts, so that's why I have decided to use the 9501 instead. I believe I read somewhere that Molykote DX too is difficult to clean off. Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure my 9501 grease which expired in June 2022 is runnier now than it was when it was new, but whether new or old it always needs to be stirred before use. So, that's why I treat the parts of the keyless works, cannon pinion, etc. with epilame. That was very thoughtful of you and something that had completely passed me by. Not sure what the epilame will do when it wears off in a non-oiled hole. Anyone?
