[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 755694, member: 9240"] So I stuck my old Nikon gear on eBay since it's not getting any traction and within 5 minutes I got offers for the full value of the items asking if I could ship FedEx Priority Overnight today if I received payment immediately. I look and the buyer has zero feedback. I then remember that eBay has stopped using PayPal and now accepts credit card payments directly, meaning that they wouldn't know about fraud until the bank notifies them, and by then the gear would have been in the person's hands and I would have been out the cash. This may be my last foray with the platform until they can guarantee seller protection. If they can't identify fraud but require us to use their new payment system then I'm out. [/QUOTE]
