I think you're being incredibly dismissive and a little condescending for no reason about his concerns, I'm sure they "considered" that while yes there is legal recourse if eBay were to take money out they weren't supposed to, the process isn't a 100% guarantee by any means, and you're still out that money while it's being investigated/resolved. Not everyone is in the privileged position of being able to float a couple thousand dollars while an issue like this is being resolved.

I get that there are external costs for providing things like cutting a check, or sending to paypal.

If that's the case, then let me agree to paying 1% or so to send via another method. I'm only asking for that option.

I don't allow any organization to reach into my bank accounts using an ACH. Simply put - I work in IT, and know that these systems have errors, and the errors are almost always in their favor. And I'm on the hook for a whole bunch of sadness waiting for them to "finish their investigation 8 weeks from now".

However, the biggest problem isn't that they demand this, but they demanded this *after* I had 5 sales go through.

You are already at their mercy. If they chose to take money out of your account I'm sure they could do it in ways legal enough to get away with.
