Not using fucking ebay...
I've spent the last three fucking hours trying to list my old processor on Ebay, and due to the sheer incredible incompetence of this conglomeracy of imbeciles I haven't been able to.

Finished my listing, and tried to add my new paypal account for payment - the old one was registered to an email address I no longer own. No, won't have it. So I attempt to login to said paypal account: "This account has been blocked: please go and fist yourself violently whilst holding a tennis ball". No idea why - it was a verified account, and never used for anything not above board. So I go into my new account, and try to link it to ebay. No chance: it makes the link, but doesn't show up in ebay. I then try to add the paypal account within ebay. No luck - it creates the partnership, then seems to forget it's done it, and thinks that my old paypal account is still associated with ebay: which is fucking isn't. At this point, I send an email to the address provided by paypal, which is the only point of contact for blocked accounts. I get one back shortly later: "This address is no longer in use, and we really don't give a shit. Take your already torn and bleeding arsehole, and go and sit on a church spire". Now, my only option is an 0870 phone number, which I refuse to ring on principle.

Moments later, I have a stroke of genius: "Aha! Perhaps I can't add the account as it's not verified! I'll just pop my account details in here...". I do so, and get: "This bank account is already associated with a paypal account: please log into the account and dissociate the bank account in there". Which I can't fucking do, because they blocked it for no good reason.

I still haven't sold my processor - the sooner Google make an auction site, and combine it with Google Checkout the better.

Just call them
And use www.saynoto0870.com to find a proper number to reach them on. There is at least one.. I know because I had to call them myself last month.

If your area has a Craigslist or similar
I recommend that course of action over ebay. Buyers there have been absolutely mental lately, and fraud involving cherry-picking bits and pieces of electronics is a popular hobby among many.
