I made an order recently on ebay that was supposed to be taken from my bank account/debit card, but instead it sent an eCheck ?!? The auction I won requires payment within 2 days, and I cannot wait 6 days for the eCheck to go through. I was told that if the seller cancels the order due to nonpayment that I can get a strike against me from Ebay, and that with only a couple of these strikes, I won't be allowed to buy or sell on Ebay. I have bought a lot of things off Ebay and plan to sell a lot of things on Ebay, so I can't let this happen. This has happened a couple of times before, but luckily I've been able to deal with the sellers, and they have waited for the eChecks. I have plenty of money in my account to cover the purchase, and I made several other purchases close to the same time, and they went through fine. I have a screenshot of my cart at checkout that shows the payment method as my bank account/debit card. Nowhere on it does it say anything about paying by eCheck. Bottom line, I need to find out WHY most orders go through just fine, but some orders are having eChecks sent, when there's no reason they should be. And HOW to fix it when it does happen. If they're going to send an eCheck, it should state this in your cart when you check out !!! Would appreciate any help or info on this. Thanks.
