Why does Ebay in North America not accept Stripe?

same reason as everything else, they own paypal

Probably because nobody cares!

I'd never heard of Stripe but from a few minutes research I can see that they are basically just a PayPal clone along the lines of Revolution Money that Steve Case was promoting a few years ago.

There have been dozens of these over the past 10 years (ever since PayPal sold to eBay for big bucks) and not a single one of them got off the ground.

At least Skrill and ProPay actually exist as more than the investment scam that is obviously Stripes raison d'etre.

You can keep Skrill, they are a rip off. I had them in the past and dumped them.

Why is Skrill a rip-off? Their policies for protecting BUYERS is basically the same as PayPal (and every other payment processor).

Say what you want about Skrill/Moneybookers, fact is they are a real operation with a few millions users that has been actually operating for at least a decade.

I looked at it just now. It is a Paypal wanna be. Probably hoping to get bought by eBay. That is what most of these outfits want, is to be bought out. PP is 100 times bigger than Stripe.

I will tell you why they are a rip off

I set up my bank account and used them on Delcampe as tou are expected to. I tried to transfer money to my bank and the fee was I believe the fee was $2.65 and the transfer failed because they can't transfer to a Credit Union in Canada. Why did they not tell me they could not transfer to a Credit Union when I opened the account. They wou

ld not refund the $2.65 and I had to pay another $5.00 to get a check mailed to me.

Great way to do business and that is why they are a rip off and I closed the account. They may be fine in Europe but are a pain for here.

That post got garbled so lets try again

I had an account for Delcampe, set up my bank acct and accepted payments. Rates no cheaper. Withdrew money and I believe the fee at that time was $2.65. The transfer bounced as they can not deposit to a Credit Union in Canada. Why did they not know that? They refused to refund the $2.65 and charged me another $5.00 to issue me a check. I closed my account.

Do some detailed reading of all their fees. They are worse than Paypal especially with exchange rates.

As far as Stripe goes, I use them on my website, and the electronic deposits are done automatically with no hassles. Plus they deposit to my US bank account in the US even though I live in Canada with no delays.

Remember, Paypal started small as well and if it was not for Ebay, they would be worse off than Stripe. Most of the Major hosted websites have Stripe buile into them and almost every other website will support them without PCI compliance as the do the processing for you. Why do you seem to have a problem with them?
