Why? Because paypal courted the auction seller with promises of free credit card transactions. They said it would always be free, they said they make their money on the float. A company of this size does not start up without a 5 year plan, it just doesn't happen. Which means they new these upgrades would be comming when they told us auction sellers it would always be free. They said they would not force anyone to upgrade yet, "we are considering a new policy to enforce our terms of use", in by book "enforce" means "to force".
Auction sellers should be exempt from this inforcement because PayPal new all about us auction sellers when they created this pay system and I doubt they were at all surprised when so many of us signed up for this FREE service. So yes I see this as bait and switch. Once my auctions have ended and I have received all of my paypal payments for those auctions, that will be the last time I take PayPal. By the way I did upgrade because of there up and comming "ENFORCEMENT". The way I see it if I didn't I could have been held legally responsible for the fee's I may have avoided if I did not upgrade when this enforcement came down the pike. Think about that before you breach their terms of service.
Please forgive any spelling erorrs, I'm not the smarted person in the world, but I know when I feel like I have been lied to.
