Possibly the stupidest thing about PayPal...

I hate it how PayPal always shows that a seller accepts credit cards even when he really doesn't. And then you don't find out until after you win.:bomb:

If you want, you can show him the policy and be insistent that he sell it to you.

Yeah, just cut and past what ebay has and send it to the seller. In most cases they will just accept the CC. Worst case scenario they don't sell you the item, but just report it to ebay and you won't get a strike.

Yeah, it's not the money I'm worried about. It's just that I've been waiting for a Wii for so long and now that I'll finally get to play it over Spring Break, I won't have any games to play unless I pay full price.:-x
