The Paypal only policy is not helpful - especially at a time of contracting discretionary dollars. We were contacted a couple of weeks ago by an eBay rep. regarding an eBay survey. I do not recall whether the Paypal-only policy was addressed but I did firmly emphasize that I was not in favor of eBay's form of "change" particularly in uncertain times like these.

Furthermore, several eBayers have contacted us requesting our address for purposes of paying by other methods than Paypal. Each has been advised that we are pleased to accept their check or money order (or Paypal). It is unclear if this is against eBay rules; I guess we'll find out eventually.

Strangely, we have seen some listings (ours and others) that still list options other than Paypal and even some of our own invoices have permitted us to check other options although none (to my recollection) the past week to ten days.
