TS: Selling your CDs.. eBay vs. Amazon -- pros and cons.

On a different tack, eBay are now ceasing to let sellers use PayPal, so every sale will be heading straight into your bank account. No idea why this is happening, it's measuring up to be confusing as hell but we'll see. Sellers (in the UK at least) have to move over to the new system by the end of May. Bye-bye PayPal (for me anyway)!

yeah we (in Australia) have already moved over to the new system - I thiiink it is essentially so eBay can offer a wider range of payment options at checkout? eg apple pay or whatever.

after the slight inconvenience of setting it up it works fine. only real downside for me is that my paypal balance from selling also acted as my available funds for buying - at least theoretically! I liked the idea of hobby finances being in a separate pot. ah well.

i guess it’s also kind of tidy that they extract their cut on the way through, rather than billing you a month later when you’ve forgotten about it

ebay owned paypal for a while but then didn't own paypal and I assume that some amount of supporting it was going to cost the company more money than doing it themselves.

(UK) Is there anywhere that lists the records/CDs/merch that they want to buy, in an easy lazy-to-use way? I think eil used to? (That is, lists you could easily look through and think "Oh, yeah, I've got that and would sell it for a fiver or whatever".)
