I know a lot of you sell your extra tooling on ebay. I do as well, though I usually post here first.
So now ebay has decided I need to give them access to my checking account and my SSN. This is just a hobby thing to me, selling the things I no longer am interested in, so no tax implications.
The few issues I have had include one last year when a buyer (machine shop owner in Illinois), after receiving the tooling refused payment via his credit card, and ebay sucked it out of my Paypal account, with no recourse. I am hesitant - to put it mildly - to allow ebay the same access to a bank account.
I am perfectly happy using Paypal as always, fees and all. That will no longer be possible after Feb 1.
Anyone else have an issue with this? Am I being overcautious?
