"You're so supercilious, Ron."

Listen chief, there is nothing "supercilious" about questioning an incorrect and misleading statement.


"It's close enough to eliminating anything other than PayPal or a credit card through PayPal that for all intents and purposes, it will be PayPal only for most users. "

That is two major options, and there are others if you choose to read the statement. Claiming that it is "only" Pay Pal was WRONG. The fact that you have an option to use a credit card is a BIG option. If you go into a store, you probably have one of two options - cash or credit.   I see E-bay doing nothing different except offer another option. They no longer take checks. They are not the first, and they are far from being in the minority.

No one is forcing you or anyone to use Ebay or Pay Pal. It is not a big deal.   I am fully aware that people do not wish to use Pay Pal or a credit card, that is fine.   To not like a companies policies is one thing, but to give misleading information is another.
