At some point in October 2008, eBay is making it so that you cannot pay for purchases with check or money order. Here's the FAQ about it: http://pages.ebay.com/sell/August2008Update/OtherFAQ/#3 I know some people don't have or don't want a PayPal account, but it seems if they want to continue to purchase on eBay, they'll have to get one. There are a couple other options, but clearly eBay is pushing PayPal hard. To my knowledge, eBay owns PayPal, and this is another way to ensure they make as much money as possible.
I hope this will encourage some sellers to come to the DG Marketplace to sell their plants. If you have a relationship with an eBay seller, you might gently suggest (not demand! LOL) that they explore the idea. The DG Marketplace is really no different than eBay Buy-It-Now items, anyway.
FYI: Oct 2008 - payment changes coming to eBay
