I was just talking to Ebay customer service. Seems that ALL BANNED PAYPAL users who sold crypto are now allowed to make purchases IN EBAY using our credit cards. REFUNDS will also be returned to the original source of payment. Effective this FALL, by invitation ONLY a small group of members will be using their banking accounts directly, and will be reporting back to ebay any problems for improvements. Paypig used to share the same building...ebay kicked them out, they now have their own building (so I'm told).
There is no need to change your listed email on your account in ebay.
Within a year or two, Ebay will be handling all their own business. Minus our enemy the pig.
If you know someone who was given the BOOT by paypig...TELL THEM to call Ebay and get the 411, then crack a beer to the Crypto Gods
It does means that a lot of people are able to purchase from eBay again even though their paypal accounts were initially frozen or limited.
However, I've always thought that eBay accepted the use of credit cards directly anyways? This new policy doesn't seem to be that new at all. Even with a limited PP account, you could just purchase with credit card instead of going through the paypal account payments. This new policy doesn't really help out buyers in the case that paypal is the only payment method available either.
If it wasn't able to be done in the past though, it doesn't really make sense for ebay to not do this earlier. Any logical business would probably want to accept as many customers as possible instead of filtering out potential customers?
