Ebay user agreement.

Has anyone else read the small print on their lastest update? 

Apparently, when you sell something, you now get paid direct from ebay into your bank account, rather than through Paypal, according to ebay, " about 2 days after the buyer has paid, and less their fees".  

If you read it carefully, by giving Ebay all your bank details, you are signing a debit mandate for them to help themselves to your bank account at any time? Or have i mis-read it?

What is the situation when you sell a large item, as we all do, various big cabinets that are far to large to post ,and it's cash on collection? Does ebay still help itself to your account for whatever fees they decide?

Ditto Earplug. Reading the smallprint, the moment you give them your account details, you are electronically signing a debit mandate for them to help themselves. They will get their fees before you get paid. Nope, not doing that.

Has been one a day for the past week.

Thats your own fault for having a poor internet security set up. You are letting them mine you. Just stop using Bing or google and get a little internet smart. Tor costs nothing. A vpn costs nothing.
