think that is because they didn't have a verified
account. I had the
same from a seller in Germany they left me bad feedback because I
don't have that set up on my account. They would only accept a bank
transfer which would of cost me =A330 for an item that only cost =A320
which I refused to pay.
I don't much care for Paypal, but I care even less for bank transfers
(I can't do a Westurn Union transfer, the one time I tried, the WU office
needed either a passport or driving license as ID, I have neither).
I very rarely bifd on an E-bay auction if the seller won't take Paypal. I
did once (and that was to Germany) -- the item was sufficiently rate (an
HPIB interface for the 9830) amd had a very low B-I-N that I thought it
was worth the trouble. It was -- but only just.
What is it with German sellers? It appears that very few of them take
Paypal.
