yeah i don't think you understand the huge benefit that ebay has having it's own payment system, where they can charge you whatever the hell they want and operate in as poor a way as they want. notice how paypal is the only method of payment allowed now? mention that you accept MO's in your auction, and it will be pulled. workout the amount of money that ebay is making per sale, including what they get from listing fees + final value fees + paypal fees. their cut is enormous, in part because they own the payment system.
Wow, you guys are thick. PAYPAL IS A SEPARATE BUSINESS ENTITY OWNED BY EBAY. PAYPAL IS NOT PROFITABLE. PAYPAL IS A PAIN **********, TO EBAY. TRUSTS ARE ILLEGAL. Ergo, PayPal, can go away and it doesn't affect Ebay's core business or its profitability. It helps them. And you, the loyal customer, can go back to using checks, money orders, credit cards, bags of sea shells, whatever it is that you, YOU like. End of rant.
