I tried to pay for an item I'd won with a paypal credit card payment, which the auction said the buyer accepted, but they really only accepted bank account transfers. When I asked, the seller said they would accept a credit card but they would hold off shipping for ten days until it cleared because some people pay with a credit card and then cancel the credit card and don't pay up. This sounded really asinine to me. Why would I cancel my credit card to get out of paying for a $7.00 auction?
