I Like It!
I know, I know! You guy's are like what? Well, let me explain. This change means that all of these fictitious accounts on eBay won't work anymore, because all buyers will be required to to have an Pay Pal account. A lot of people with these fake accounts bid on your items without any intentions of paying you and sabotage auctions all of the time. I don't know how many threads on the siccness discussed issues like this. They're (Fake account holders) are able to create and bid, because currently there isn't a requirement for eBay users to tie their personal bank accounts and credit cards to that fake eBay account. All that they needed was a email address and that was it. Not anymore. Now all accounts must have bank info or credit information on file and due to this they (Fake Accounts) won't dare to take the risk of putting their banks and/or credit cards in jeopardy, nor will they allow their friends to use their account, win and not pay for their items. This will also protect buyers, because there is a lot of shill bidding going on with fake accounts too. Shill bidding on and sabotaging others auctions are about to be on lock. Basically, the playing field is about to be more leveled for both buyers and sellers. I also like the fact that payments will be received faster and buyers are going to be more likely to pay their bills instead of snaking you on payment. Yes, eBay is going to capitalize off of your sales, but they already do and that's a price that I'm willing to deal with as long as it helps me and others out with the previously stated situations.
