Now that’s its become very common for vendors of all types to add 2-3% on to credit card transactions, what is the logic for large auction houses now to refuse to take credit? I assume many people are comfortable paying higher prices to put something on credit. Is there some other reason why people don’t want to deal with credit cards? Maybe I’m missing something obvious.

Without talking to any auction houses, I would guess chargebacks would be an issue and concern.

If you talk to the guys who run the auction houses they will tell you that it’s all about the ease in which a buyer can dispute a credit card transaction. They want to pay their sellers with the certainty that they won’t be charged back. Credit card companies typically rule in favor of their card holder and it’s a pain in the butt to appeal a dispute.

charge backs. They are very difficult to win. We only take credit card up to $2000 for that reason.

Does Goldin Auction require your bids using credit cards only?
And winning total also? No checks? |

Charge backs is an issue, I had a eBay sale of $400.00, items were delivered, buyer said he didn't order and opened a dispute with his credit card provider. The card company of course sided with the buyer, eBay covered my sale with their buyers protection-- I didn't lose any money plus the product!

ETA: in my experience, eBay has been pretty good at protecting me as a buyer and a seller. It seldom comes up on either side, though. I guess the frequency with which one cries foul might factor into things.
