eBay Adds Moneybookers as Payment Partner

Feb 6 2009, 12:00pm CST | by Shane McGlaun

I have made it no secret over the years that I loathe eBay. I hate its policies, I hate its penchant for coming down on the buyer's side no matter the circumstances, and I hate that you are all but forced to use PayPal. Many feel the same way I do about the auction giant, but like many other things in life, you don’t have a lot of choice. If you want to rid yourself of stuff you don’t need and make a few bucks online its eBay.

Moneybookers announced today that it has been added as an eBay payment partner. Before you get too excited, remember that the chance of selling your items on eBay drops precipitously if you don’t take payments via PayPal.

Still after eBay shed all payment providers save PayPal and one catered at big sellers last year, it's nice to have one additional option. Still, I can’t wait until we have a real competitor to eBay, please Google make my dreams come true.
