As so many apparently have done. I dropped the whole thing about the time that FleaBay bought 'em and stopped accepting anything but PayPal as a way to pay for goods. And this clearly contravenes federal law.
Take a $1 bill out of your pocket. Look at it. Do you see the phrase "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private."? Why have the feds allowed FleaBay/PayPal to get away with this?
I refuse to use PayPal and their usurious 3.5% transaction tax...

I'm not trying to be antagonistic (and I think the new PP policy is BS!) but why do you believe that it violates federal law and what does the new policy have to do with the quote you relayed from the dollar? I'm confused.

Paypal seems to be run by a bunch of bullies and slimeballs but doesn't constitute illegality.
People might think they are safe when dealing with these *large, well-established* corporations when nothing could be further from the truth - as numerous successful and ongoing hacking attempts have shown and will continue to show.
I'll give (and take) good old-fashioned money for as long as I am able to, but that's just me...
Still don't see what the fuss is about.

What federal law is that, specifically?
You can also accept credit/debit card payments on eBay so I don't know what you mean by they stopped accepting anything but PayPal as a way to pay for goods.

Get away with what? When you transact on PayPal, you are transacting in US dollars. What, you only want to accept payment from people stupid enough to send you cash in the mail? Do you live in Nigeria or something?

Where do you get 3.5%? For domestic sales it's 2.9% of the sale plus 30 cents per transaction.
