I think I might end up contacting eBay "directly" and see what they have to say about the issue.I know that for the past few weeks, anytime I've listed an auction using an old template which contains the dreaded word "cash," eBay ends that auction almost immediately, so I can't imagine them being so lenient on something like Bidpay... :/Cheers,JohnHaka Wandering Monster

Either way, here's my two coppers: this doesn't matter that much. I stopped listing with a BidPay option years ago and got not one single complaint or request from a buyer to use the service (of course, I also accept checks, which probably helps out with the anti-PayPal crowd). The original BidPay service was user-unfriendly, slow, and expensive. Has anything really changed?
Wandering Monster wrote:Still, it's nice to know that there is an option out there besides Paypal, especially for items that Paypal won't let you pay for via their services (i.e., items in the Mature Audiences category -- sometime I've always objected to, on the premise that this company is telling you how you can spend your own money).

If you don't like the way we do things around here, please feel free to take your business elsewhere. Also, please make sure that you do not let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Thanks for your time and have a GREAT day!"Truthfully, I would have extremely surprised if you actually would have gotten a response that indicated that reall gave a flying f**k what anyone else but they thought. Go Google!!
...but I also pointed out that their virtual monopoly on internet auctions was not long for this world when they treat buyers like dirt.
