The Bad

• Must be a member for some features
• No traffic reports
• No live chat

You can only use PPPay.com, PayPal, and Skrill if you have a Seller+ membership. They also do not allow credit card which is a serious issue for some bidders. They do not include traffic reports. Traffic reports can be critical as they record important analytical information like who visited your site, where they came from, what they looked at, and how long they were on your site. They do not have live chat capabilities in case consumers want to get immediate help or answers to questions.
