Auction Houses and PayPal

[Jeff_cvc]

I have to say, AH's that use PayPal as a payment option are awesome. I find myself using AH's that offer this option more and more. For me, the ease of pushing a couple buttons on my computer instead of sending in a check or money order is so much more convenient. Not only the convenience, but also the AH receives my money more timely, which in turn, I get my winnings faster.

Am I just petty or does anyone else feel the same??

I completely agree. I sell a few items here and there on Ebay and like to be able to use those Paypal funds to pay for auction winnings, rather than draining the bank account.

Luke, thank you for making that point as I also run in to the same issue.

I appreciate those that do accept it, as it just makes life easier. I do, however, understand why those that don't choose so. I'd imagine the last thing I want is paypal refund case a month later after I've paid a consignor and the buyer has buyer's remorse.

I didn't even realize that was possible... people never seize to amaze me. Couldn't the AH ban that person from bidding again? It might deter people from doing such a thing?? I wonder if any of the current AH's have had this issue?

more likely AH's don't want to pay the PayPal fees
