Nice to read something really interesting...

Sounds like they were not accepting P ap pal and asking for cash transfers? Hell of a lot of cash that.

What's so special about pre 2007 accounts then?

Nothing now. Used be they were called 'golden' or 'grandfathered'. Was a certain amount of invincibilty with them. In the USA, they did mean no paypal

Now ebay just sees them as 'older' accounts which need to earn the right to list. In fact some such accounts get nabbed for ID proof. ebay worries the account might have been hacked.

Oh thanks.

It's just that I discovered an old ebay account of mine recently that was really old.

Then you have been really lucky.

@Cassie, don't think you can just list gung ho because the account is old - be wise and careful.

No, then the payment will either get blocked or go through. Unclaimed = the paypal email is invalid.

this malarky about old accounts being invincible is rubbish...new accounts are invincible too! it all depends on what you are selling.
