Hey all,

A friend of mine helped me to put a couple of radios on EBay over the
weekend. *He used Vendio, and listed them both under "Consumer
Electronics\Radios: Ham, CB etc\Shortwave". *The 2 auctions were set
to start Sunday at 9:00pm. *Today he discovers that they didn't start
because EBay says you have to allow PayPal for certain categories *of
items.

WTF??

My friend won't take PayPal because it costs extra. *He has had no
problem with bank checks and money orders in past auctions. *I thought
maybe it's because electronics cost a bit more, but my friend usually
sells high-end guitars and other instruments, so cost doesn't seem to
be it. *Then my cynical side kicked in, and I figure EBay must be
getting kickbacks from PayPal. *Does anyone know the real story, or
have ideas?

Anyway, sorry for the rant...
