NEW PAYPAL AUDIOGON PAYMENT RULES


Hello.  I just went through the previously pleasant procedure of listing a pair of loudspeakers on this site.  Since joining the community five or six years ago I have logged over 100 transactions,  mostly using Paypal as a method of payment.When I arrived on the payment section of my listing I was directed to register with paypal as a merchant - which I am not - or register with Audiogon as a dealer - also which I am not.

I cannot even list my item as a COD sale because of the new guidlines.

I sent an email to Audiogon regarding this and the reply did little to resolve a very serious dilemma for private individuals.
Anyone experience this as well?
