I read that some categories that are more subject to fraud must accept PayPal. Electronics was mentioned. -----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o

What are the payment policy changes? Which sellers do they affect?
eBay will require some sellers to offer a safer payment option, either PayPal or a merchant credit card. These payment options offer additional protections to buyers. Sellers will be required to offer safer payment if they meet any of these conditions:
-have more than 5% dissatisfied buyers in the last 30 days
-have a feedback score of less than 100
-are listing items in the following higher risk categories (and sub categories): gift certificates, video games, cell phones, computers and consumer electronics
If you are required to offer a safer payment option, you might also be subject to holds on payment. PayPal may hold payments for the sale of an eBay item until the earliest of the following occurs:
-the buyer leaves positive feedback,
-3 days after confirmed item delivery*
-21 days without a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal filed on that transaction

What I don't understand is that Vendio's announcement warns us to not ship until payment is received and cleared - eBay seems to hold payment until the item is shipped and accepted - or 21 days which will make everyone unhappy.
I wanted to help clear up this confusion. These are two different PayPal payment policy changes. Our announcement is in reference to a PayPal payment policy change where PayPal will hold buyer payments that they believe are high-risk for a period of time. Here is a link to our announcement about this:

Here is a link to a PayPal address where PayPal explains how this works:

I think anyone buying electronics on ebay WITHOUT using paypal or a credit card is asking for trouble. I support Ebay's move to require sellers to accept them.

There are many sellers who are just selling their old electronic devices such as camera,fax,laptop etc as they upgrade to newer models,often the buyers will file complaint with PAYPAL as the item is either missing some components or just not functioning as expected.It seems that Paypal is now siding more with the seller not the buyer!
