If you edit your ad, the "Credit Card with Express Checkout" option is checked by default. If you save the edited ad, YOU CAN'T REMOVE THIS PAYMENT OPTION"!
The problems with this payment option are numerous. Here are a few:
- Audiogon requires you to ship the item before you have received payment.
- There is no facility to print a receipt.
- You receive payment days later with no notice that the deposit is complete.
- Audiogon has full access to your bank account.
- You can't remove Express Checkout from your Audiogon profile for 30 days after someone has paid with it.
Caution is warranted!
