Paypal are total doosh bags..
If paypal was smart they would just allow people to use bitcoin as well.
2. High maintenance account: I likely had a much higher ratio of chargebacks and fraudsters come through my account than 99% of other paypal accounts.
Which will actually lead to pretty much any financial service provider/payment processor dumping you including your credit card acquirer and your bank.
wow OP that sucks im sorry
For me, Btc is quickly making Paypal obsolete. Why be forced to deal with poor service -and-held pay for it? There was a time when PayPal was a great device, but that time is no longer today for me.
we shouldn't be trying to find ways to mesh paypal with bitcoin. We should make paypal obsolete with bitcoin.
That's what they're afraid of. Why do you think they keep kicking us out?

Welcome to Paypal, we are now accepting your deposits for interest free loans for 45 days or 6 months.
...hmmmm
I wondered if they hummped you because they were't getting their share!

I think there are two reasons:
1. Squashing the competition (they have no interest in seeing bitcoin thrive)
2. High maintenance account: I likely had a much higher ratio of chargebacks and fraudsters come through my account than 99% of other paypal accounts.

Sorry for being harsh. Apparently everywhere but the U.S. was excluded from shipping, so it hid the listing from all non-U.S. IPs. It should be visible now.

Dont you risk your egay account to be suspended?
I would think less chance of it than the people who sell BTC in the non-test categories.[Item 230868571478 is no longer available]

Still there for me, too.
Btw, this line is hilarious: "I accept cash in mail, or Liberty Reserve (fee $1.43 for all 8 BTC), but absolutely no PayPal - the #1 choice of financial criminals worldwide."
What do you think of this PP alternative? http://www.pppay.com/demo.htm

There is a way to sell BTC on eBay. Without all the fees. Especially without PayPal (and the concomitant risk of chargebacks and fraud, since PayPal is the #1 choice of financial criminals worldwide).
Create listings in Everything Else>Test Auctions>General. There are guidelines for test auctions, that make your listing invalid; nobody bidding on it will get you assessed fees or any liability. Make the listing title start with "TEST- " and in the listing itself, put "TEST - DO NOT BID". Disable PayPal in the payment options, and check some other electronic payment method (that you don't necessarily need to have), as well as Pay On Pickup.
Buyers will ideally just send you eBay messages to work out payment offsite, or you can insert an image with your contact details on it. Face-to-face, cash in mail, and Liberty Reserve are the most secure options for sellers to accept payment.
Here's an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230868571478

Ebay will still let you use the site, just paypal stops letting you use them. Which is stupid since its the same company, but anyway, they always give the money back ... eventually. Just make sure you check in on it after 6 months.
