Buy It Now/ Best Offer. Ebay does it again! SMH
Now you have to have a credit card or Pay Pal locked in when making offers on items. That's great! No, it's not.
I wouldn't mind it so much if they didn't have the payment pending in my Pay Pal account for a week + after the real payment went through. Also, as soon as they let you use your funds from sales, instead of waiting to have it deposited into your account, you can't use it as a locked in payment when making an offer. So, that convenience is almost entirely useless now, unless you like the seller's BIN price. Right, I'm always willing to pay full price when a dealer is happy to accept less. Also, not every seller takes payments through your available funds. What that's all about, I have no idea.
Along with all the annoying changes every five minutes and being bombarded with stupid messages, it's still the only game in town for things I actually want, and sell. I guess we'll all just have to deal with it, but it really doesn't have to be this way.
