Ebay are a JOKE!

Which they shouldn't be doing anyway. You should only write a cheque if you have the funds to cover it's value.

Exactly, its like saying "oo its buy now pay next year, i dont have the funds right now but i'll take it and i can have the funds for next year"

If you cant pay, dont buy simple as.

Its why i use a splash plastic card, its impossible for me to get into debt with it as i cant spend anymore money than is on the card.
 
I wouldn't buy a game with a cheque or bank transfer anyways - I prefer to pay for all my games using paypal..
 
I'm sorry but I completely agree with eBay on this and think it's a good move!

I'm fed up with morons paying by methods which can't be tracked. If everyone used paypal fraud prevention would be much easier.

As a bidder I also get P'd off when it turns out the seller won't accept paypal and I have to send a bloody postal order/cheque.

A lot of people dont want to use Paypal (i dont but i do to get some stuff on ebay that are PP only) so they send cheques, I work for Tesco, and a lot of people still use cheques to pay for their shopping

ASDA have stopped and as an ex-checkout-teamleader for nearly 3 years at Tesco I can tell you that Tesco will be getting rid of checks sooner rather than later the processing for them is a pointless waste of time and resources. Staff don't know how to handle them properly, they can bounce which means bad debit for Tesco and its a whole load of pointless paper work which will save Tesco money because people could just use the same plastic card to by debit rather than check.

If you work on the checkouts at Tesco you will know that most staff are incapable of actually printing a check without getting it either stuck in the machine, creased or upside down.

yeah becuase they were new, after a few cheques have been proccessed they get the hang of it :) (at our store anyway :p)

but i do agree with you though


and to the other poster, no its not "immediate payment only" they are only on Buy it now's
 
Yes thats true but turn over rate is very large at Tesco and many of the staff don't care enough to learn, its so annoying as a team leader to get called over to open the front of the printer remove a check then close it because they cant be more careful in the first place. There are many things I could complain about at Tesco, I think I have seen it all at Tesco but I expect its just the surface, customers (not all) really are idiots, they winge about pointless things and walk in front of moving cars in the car park.

tell me about it, some customers are a pain, we say hello to them, offer help, and they ignore us, get ratty etc and dont say thanks when we pack their shopping too! it ticks me off! . ECOH goes out the window :p
 
MY take on this is that whether you are genuine or not,
I am not paying by cheque or bank transfer on ebay, its very hard to say whos who on there.

Paypal means I'm covered. I always accept payment with paypal as well and send with insured delivery so that I'm always covered in case of any problems.

I have to agree I will only use paypal on ebay because its secure, and safer.

I was speaking with the other team leaders the other day we are now expected to do these things for each customer, its getting stupid.

1. Greet and make eye contact
2. Offer assistance verbally and physically
3. Green Points
4. Clubcard
5. Fast Pay
6. Cash back
7. Good bye

The worst thing is when you get people who think they are funny by saying 'I think i can manage 2 items' or the people that ignore you when they are on the phone, insist on packing themselves and making every one else wait while they unload. I hate working at Tesco and I am glad Friday is my last day.
 
thats exaqctly what makes it really hard to work there, ive been there 8 months now, only doing it part-time (i wanted more hours though) whilst im studying so I can earn some real money and get away from that.

It is a joke, I wish more customers could see it from our shoes, "you work for Tesco so i dont care" attitude :rolleyes:

Got another job planned mate?
