Ebay has started asking me for my credit card details to "place my credit card on file" I am up to date with my account, and when I spoke to their help line, they told me there was a "glitch" with their system. A couple of days later, I called again as it still had not been resolved to be told that I "had to place my card with ebay so they could take payments" when I asked who was lying, him or the previous assistant, he put me on hold then said there was a "glitch" and I shouldn't have to put my card on file. I believe this about as much as I believe Gordon Brown's a good Prime Minister!
I think Ebay have sneakily introduced this and are getting everybodies card details.
I sold something on ebay recently for £311. It cost me a £1 to list it plus £31 seller fees, and if I use paypal, they will charge me another chunk of money (paypay and ebay are one and the same)
Anybody else been caught out?

ps, paypal already has my card details, but ebay says even if I don't authorise them to use my card for automatic payment, they can take the money anyway!
