I find it absolutely fascinating the extreme lengths that eBay must go to in order to convince people to use PayMorePal. If PayPal was so wonderful and so fantastic and so convenient, why wouldn't everyone just automatically accept it as a godsend? But no, there are many folks who refuse to accept it.

 

I wonder why ?

PayPal sucks.

 

Unfortunately, it's the fastest and cheapest way to get paid online.

I didn't get one and I will take a precentage off coupon anytime I can get it.

 

I have spent a lot on paypal fees and it is nice to get some back.

 

My problem is they normally come right after a large purchase and it is hard to find something you need and is a good deal while still having the money left after your last purchase to get the item before it expires.

I agree so I have moved all my incoming "payments" to other methods

I keep no cash there or if some comes in it gets moved out immedately

I pay all outgoing through paypal using a CC

I removed my bank account as a source of funds.

Probably a smart thing to do. I also have done the same thing.

I don't like them having my bank account plus if someone hacked the account god

only knows how long it would take to get the money back.

I got one after I bought a Plasma TV on ebay for around $325.00. Atfter I pushed the Buy Now button and paid for it, I rthen ealized it was refurbished and canceled my order. The following week I received my coupon. So maybe you can get one that way.

I used my coupon on the 12th to buy a sealed brick of the new Lincoln pennies with the cancellation stamp of the Hodgedenville Post Office and thier selling like hot cakes.

The combination of listing, final value and paypal fees are too high. And I believe eBay fees were just raised. Depending upon the auction format, the total can run close to 10% which is a ridiculous amount when the seller is doing all of the work.

No coupon.
