 By January 2009 all payments will be integrated through EBAY Checkout
eBay will be spying on everyone's authorize.net accounts come January 2009
This forum missed the most dreadful part of this: Fees August 2008 Other Updates Quote: |
In January 2009, all accepted payment methods will be integrated into eBay Checkout.
| I've asked Auctiva about this a couple times and they all say they believe eBay is getting rid of third party checkout.
This means if you have a merchant account, you will need to get dozens of authorize.net accounts and then explain why. The only reasons I can think of are:
1) You want to have different AVS requirements at different times and you can't switch this easily without different accounts.
2) Based on authorize.net's fraud screening service that it can limit the repeat IP addresses when someone hammers up 20 declines for some reason you can drop them down to 1 try then it won't try and won't charge you fees for the decline. But if you for instance have different websites or whatever and a customer comes to both and pays at once, it is annoying to explain why they were declined.
But the worst thing is...!!! How do explain to your merchant account provider if you get suspended a lot that you want to constantly change authorize.net login IDs... unless somehow authorize.net will let you do that whenever you want
