DHGate has a Problem with PayPal

[Lyda]

Well, eBay means different things to different people,obviously. For example, I could never be selling electronics, tvs, iphones etc. - all can be vero with high profit margin.-simply because I don't understand it well enough and could not answer related technical questions... I don't make a living off of Ebay, but see it rather as a hobby, something I like to do on a side and enjoy the product I am selling myself.
I am not into ⊗⊗⊗⊗ just to make money, so this approach really does not interest me..
What bothers me is that stupid rules imposed by ebay and paypal are making things more frustrating than enjoyable. Now days it is a challenge to list almost anything and not get suspended...

Enjoyment comes from being able to "play their game", stay afloat, and beat them in their own game at times.....How sad is that?

If you're just doing it as a hobby then why not try out some of the other sites? There's at least about a dozen other auction sites Bonanzle, ebid, ubid etc. just not enough traffic for me.

True, well I do this for a living and Im loving it (social life fell down the drain thought). It's great to bend the rules a lot! Thanks to aspkin I feel like every ebay and PayPal account I open is me modding something. But eBay rules are imposed to keep them in control, their buisness safe, and bring $ to the companies.

Messing with eBay and PayPal for a hobby is the best thing to do. The other sites you said sucks(for now) why bother with them?

[jbluntz]

Because their good alternatives for people that don't care about making money and just doing it as a hobby, not for me though i was refering to Lyda.

Well, I do care about making money..lol. Bonanzle is not bad, had some success over there, but nothing beats eBay' traffic.
