What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away


i may have over reacted... for some reason PayPal wants to drive me into a business account. Looks like the fees are the same so not sure what that is all about, I'm just suspicious by nature

If you switch to a business account which is pretty easy you get a merchant ID, enter it here, and move on. If you don't want to do that then they make it very complicated to fill out forms, etc. I gave up and switched to business, made up a bogus business name and am moving on...

Yes.  I just spent one entire hour to complete a purchase here on  Audiogon.  What a pain!  Two weeks ago, it took less than a minute. This evening I had to call PayPal to see what was going on, and it turns out it is Audiogon not PayPal.  Thankfully the seller phastm3 was wonderful and understanding as I apologized for all the trouble. I was embarrassed, thinking he thought I was a fraud or didn’t really have the credit to purchase the item.  Really, Audiogon, you should tell us all what is going on and fix this problem!
So in order to complete the transaction I ended up having to send payment directly to the sellers email account associated with his PayPal account.  Others may have to do the same if they want to make a purchase here.
