They don't force you to accept PayPal, but if you do take PayPal, you have to take all types of PayPal payments.

They do force you now if you are not a power seller. There was a hokey message along these lines:

"Since you do not have significant previous sales, accepting paypal is required to protect potential buyers." I don't remember the actual wording of course.

I added a line that I would prefer USPS money order, but if paying by paypal please do not use Credit or Debit cards. They killed my auction after I had 3 watchers and 1 bid. Of course, I also had to pay to relist again and 'might' get a relisting credit if the item sells.

My only question is does ebay have some sort of program that catches these things, or did some a-hole report my auction?

Ahh.  I wasn't aware of that.  That sucks...   :badmood:

I doubt eBay has a program that could catch that... my bet would be on that someone reported it...
shardian:
I was gonna put a "contact me before paying" line in the relisting. I decided to leave it all off just in case it was just someone giving me a hard time. I would have been PISSED if I had to relist a 2nd time.

I'll be interested to see what you get for it because I have a similar setup boxed and in the attic. The amount of RAM in the Model 100 is important. Mine is an 8K model (minimumal RAM) and that's not quite enough to use the disk drive.

The rumor is that Bill Gates actually coded parts of the OS for this little gem of a computer.
