O Canada!

This is so great. From eBay Canada’s payment policy:

  • Sellers may offer to accept personal cheques, money orders, cashier’s cheques, certified cheques, Canadian Tire Money™ and other negotiable instruments.

(For those going “Canadian what?”, see here.) Also, while Canadian Tire Money is permitted, cash is not.

Now I want to sell things on eBay and accept only Canadian Tire money.

    Reading through the article, I was thinking, “Hmm, sounds a lot like S&H Green Stamps…”
    *scroll down**scroll down**scroll down*
    “Oh.”

    Now I want to sell things on eBay and accept only Canadian Tire money.

    Sounds like an excellent idea to me!

    We all know that all of Canada has pooled its money together for a spare-tire fund. Any citizen is allowed to withdraw money from that fund in order to replace a tire.

    That’s socialism, baby!
