eBay Automatic Payments?

[Smoothound]

Since when did you have to have this setup?

I've always paid my fees when I've got their invoice. I don't use it that much to be fair but I noticed a few months back that it wouldn't let me list anything else until I got my balance back below £15 I think. Tried to list a video camera this morning and it won't let me list( via iSale at least I've not tried directly on eBay as I've got the auction all setup in iSale!) it until I setup and Automatic Payment method :( I stopped all my Direct Debits years ago as I like to be in control, I don't even want to link it to my PayPal account :(

Why dont you want to link your account to Paypal? I've never had a problem with it.
Ebay wont let you list an item unless you have an associated Paypal account. (Ebay do own Paypal after all, and offer adequate protection against scammers, which unfortunately have grown substantially since it's setup).
I dont believe you HAVE to use Paypal for payments though...
