Telecaster Guitar Forum - View Single Post - Ebay losing it's charm for me, to say the least

I have been an ebay member for many years, but have only sold a few things. Nevertheless, I have never received a negative feedback (although, strangely, my feedback rating is something like 99.8%, not 100%).

Imagine my surprise today, then, when I tried to sell my gibson moderne and first year 52 RI, I was informed I HAD to use pay pal, AND that any payments made via pay pal would be 'held' - due to my apparent unsavoury character - for 21 days. Presumably, the buyer would get my guitar in a few days, though! Wow. How could I refuse?

I believe that I shall be looking elsewhere to sell my guitars!
