Default Amazon, PayPal and EBay.

To me, it is a way for merchants to take away my Federal credit card legal protection rights. I think that a reputable merchant should deal directly with the customer, and not need to hide behind Paypal. I may buy something from eBay some day, but only if Paypal is not involved in the transaction.
Yea...you would not be a happy shopper on EBay.
It runs transactions through PayPal, I am not sure there is an option to use your credit card anymore.
I have bought and sold on EBay for 21 years. I have used PayPal for all transactions in the last 10 years. I’ve had a few Ebay problems over the years, but always managed to resolve it with the Seller, because we both want to keep our Ebay rating high.
I’ve never had a problem with PayPal.
That being said, Amazon is my #1 choice. I have a Prime charge card, and I get back 5% on all purchases done on Amazon’s site.
So I’ll continue to use both sites.
