eBay's new pay plan.


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I think if you want to play Billy big b.ollocks then you have to have something up your sleeve, anyone that knows how to fight, plays dirty. Lets face it a lot of folk that voted for Brexit just rolled uk their sleeves to say up yours EU hoping for good changes. We have idiots for leaders and probably none of them clever enough to clean the shitty stick they were given. I didnt vote, what will be will be.
    • I voted leave too, my reasoning was the the EU is undemocratic, no elected officials. I don't regret it but I  am sad that both sides acted like petulant toddlers.  Shameful.  I'm not on other forums but if I was and left this site, would you shun me? Of course not, we aren't petulant toddlers.  
    • This is a type of tool that may be suitable to remove the bezel - though note that I'm pretty sure the watch should be face down - not face up, as in some of the photos of these tools on amazon & ebay! If you try one one of those, put the movement screws back in first to avoid accidents. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Removal-Professional-Remover-Watchmaker-Diameter/dp/B09XCH4QVN?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A296NCMMFVXSDN&th=1  
    • Hi, I’m constantly asking my wife to help me with removing the stem in order to complete casing. To expand, this is not a challenge for me when the setting lever is secured by a screw (older calibers). However when the setting lever is attached to a spring loaded setting lever axel, like on more modern calibers, I simply don’t see how to apply enough pressure on the button to get the stem out short of putting the movement face down with the dial and hands attached, which I’m loath to do in order to avoid damaging the dial/hands? what technique should I be using? thanks  
    • Many thanks for your advice (being borne in mind at present) & offer Dell. When I was given the clock the plastic anchor was loose on the arbour (it had split at the 'hole') &, after repairing this, I have been trying to determine whether the spindle (pin) should be perpendicular when the pallet is sitting on a flat surface; or whether, when installed, its L-R extremes (or alternatively its tick & tock points) should lie at equal angles from the vertical when moved with spring absent. I can get the clock to run but in every such configuration the top block has to be turned anti-clockwise (from above) by quite a bit in order to be 'in beat' & it always runs fast (despite the pendulum being set to as slow as possible). This makes me wonder if there is any particular feature of/fault in a torsion spring clock which determines which turn direction (if any) is necessary to get it 'in beat'; & whether there would be a different set of settings that would get it running nearer to time at somewhere around the mid timing/inertia position which would then allow tweaking of the fast/slow setting.
