Grace Period Ended January 15, 2009 for Removing Paper Payment Methods from Item Listings
On Thursday, Jan.29.2009, Laurel Kline Posted in eBay's Product News a reminder to correct all of your listings that have other methods of payments.
See Notice
eBay's 'Accepted Payments Policy' was updated to remove checks and money order paper payment methods.
eBay did enforce their paperless payment policy, however a grace period was granted in removing references to those payment methods from the Item Description. The grace period ended January 15, 2009.
eBay announced after 01-15-2009, when sellers list their items all descriptions will be automatically reviewed at listing time to make sure no paper payment methods are included. Your listing will fail with an error, if paper payment methods are included.
Also noted in eBay's notice comments were that sellers may want to make additional updates to their Item Descriptions at the same time. They were as follows:
|
01
|
Remove any shipping values that are above the maximum for their category (enforced now)
|
|
02
|
Make template updates to ensure they won't get unexpected results
|
|
03
|
correct all templates to prevent error results with the new View Item page
|
|
04
|
Move Return Policy info into the structured data
|
|
05
|
Move Handling Time info into structured data
|
Review exclusions, to the Payments Policy at FAQ.

I use to sell on ebay, but I no longer do. There are so many changes too often and those changes are negative for a seller. Ebay is like a Gestapo. Everything to benefit them and nothing to benefit a seller.
Thanks for the information about the alternative sites – Bren
