Acceptable Payment methods

Is anyone aware of the acceptable payment methods changing? Apple pay has been removed from dot ca/dot com.  Discover is now missing on dot com. (Not sure when these changes were rolled out.) Do they have to be routed through PayPal to work? Do the options change at checkout?

Re: Acceptable Payment methods

Hey @lotzofuniquegoodies ,

Your inital post is over a year old and all of a sudden it's active again. I'm hesitant to mark it "ZOMBIE".

Can you please chime in on this? eBay recently axed American Express and some of these others. If you don't mind just stick a big fat bad Zombie on this unless you think it's relevant to today. 

Thanks

IT

It still has to do with when anyone does a search looking for info, the default is best match vs most recent. To my mind a bit baffling but see it all the time. In some cases the post(s) within are no longer relevant but not always the case. At times they can be issues or concerns that eBay has never resolved so in theory "not truly" a zombie thread. You could say potatos.....potattoes!! Entirely up to interpretation. I guess in a perfect world someone from eBay could pop on by to OFFICIALLY address vs just closing willy nilly so to speak.🤣

 

As a side the payment methods listed on dot com help will still be valid as of August 17, 2024 with 1 exception. American Express will no longer be accepted.

For ca same goes for American Express. Wire Transfers are not accepted on ca

But thanks for making me confirm. Trying to keep me on my toes?
