That is your right, but it is completely unfair to the vast majority of sellers. I have a 100% rating, but I had a buyer mark me down on the detailed mark area when he received a CD without shrink wrap - even though my listing SPECIFIED it was without shrink wrap. "Oh, I guess I didn't read that part." Duh! My Amazon rating was dropped by one buyer leaving a neutral rating with the comment "Satisfactory". WTF? I wrote (politely) to ask if there had been a problem with his order and he never answered. If a seller has a 98% rating it's usually (not always) because he had the misfortune to have a buyer who was unreasonable - and sellers are no longer even ALLOWED to leave bad feedback for a buyer.
I noticed they removed this "funding" option a while back. Lot's of folks opting to have the card issuer reverse charges.
The work around is to insist your seller send an invoice. Then the option to pay with a card reappears. You still have to look for it though, they don't make it an easy one.
Oh, and eBay/Paypal sucks.
Great idea ... except that eBay doesn't want to do squat, except collect their fees. eBay doesn't want to do any actual work ...
Sounds like a business opportunity for their competition.
I just bought a photograph yesterday and paid via PayPal funded by my credit card. It’s still there, but you have to select your funding choice each time.
They don’t make it easy, but you can pay with credit card funding.
