Apparently you don't understand how eBay and PayPal work. They are now owned by the same company. The preferred, standard and almost exclusive method of payment for eBay now a days is PayPal. Her complaint is because of this PayPal issue she can't buy from eBay atm.
I'm sure she understands there are other ways of doing things. But in the real world of eBay and PayPal, there really is no other way to do things. Maybe her complaint seems petty. Maybe it is. But when you've been a loyal customer to both for 10 years and suddenly you're locked out of your payment methods...which is the only one most eBay sellers accept anymore....it is not only frustrating, but complicates life quite a bit if you have a certain way of doing things.
She likes eBay. She likes buying from eBay...but try to find a seller there who takes money orders, or a certified check. If any of them still actually do, they probably add an extra charge for doing so. I know some people like you and many others don't like it. And nothing against you...but today's world...most things are done online. Like I said in an earlier post...instant gratification. For the buyer, seller AND the middle men in this case...both eBay and Pal Pal.

Just a warning about Paypal
They are not as bad as they were... but still... be careful!
Paypal was linked to my bank account and credit card before.... I made a purchase and they charged my bank account instead of the credit card.....
There was insufficient funds in my bank account (as I knew) but they tried over and over to process the transaction... over 20 times
I had to pay my bank 500 dollars in NSF fees because of Paypal's vicious attack on my account.
I phoned Paypal about this and they were completely unhelpful and useless.
