Thanks a lot for this info!

Stripe accepts some EU countries but not all. Of course, my country is not on the list, yet.

Between 2checkout and braintree, what would you guys pick? I tend to go with braintree because 2 checkout is adding another 1% in commission for international trasactions.

Furthermore, it looks like braintree doesn't put a commission on your transactions until you get over the $50K threshold. Did I understand correct or I'm wrong here? :D

Thanks a lot for your precious advises!

All I need to use one of those Paypal alternatives is to have a merchant account?
Whats the best alternative if you take reliability, fees and receiving limits into account?

I just mention right in the beginning of my description that paypal is not accepted. I say that I accept secure payments via credit card and debit card (be sure to use the word "secure"). I still sell and I still get the price I want. Sure, some people are so brainwashed that they won't bid since they can't pay with paypal, but that hasn't caused any drop off in business for me.

Also, you may want to remind your buyers that when they pay with credit or debit card they are still protected by eBay buyer protection, which is pretty much the same thing as paypal's buyer protection. When I do this a lot of the buyers who are skeptical feel much better and they end up bidding.

There's nothing anyone can do to help you. You will just have to age the account more, and you'll start receiving instant payments. Instant payments usually start coming through 90 days after your first sale. But if you have a bad selling record in your first 90 days it may take longer for you to start getting instant payments.

It's as simple as gaining Paypal's trust. Once they have faith in you/your business they will start allowing your to receive instant payments.

ok
thx

can u answer my other question plz

[rsot]

I don't see other question? Are you based in the US?

[leemajors]

yeap good ole usa

my question on the other post was how to disable paypal and make customers only chose using the merchant account

[oompaloompa]

I like paypal, I withdraw regularly and know how to handle them....if something goes wrong I leave them holding the bag, not me, as I am 1 step ahead.....having used them, 2checkout and ccnow are way dicier IMO....

[camouflage]

Please TELL your family / friends if they want to use a merchant account (in this case Authorize.net) and they offer u e-onlinedata / PowerPay / EVO . Please read this link :

PowerPay, LLC Review - MERCHANT ACCOUNT SERVICES in Portland, ME - BBB Business Review - BBB serving Eastern Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island and Vermont

Im one of their small victim !

[newjerseymax]

Barintree is a paypal company....

I DO NOT RECOMMEND AUTHORIZE IF CUSTOMERS WILL USE MOBILE DEVICES:

PROBLEM: As of this post. My Authorize did not work on mobile devices. Don't know about others. But my customers using their phones could not pay me when using Authorize. I spent weeks trying to troubleshoot. According to eBay It's an integration issue between eBay App and authorize, which they are aware of but developers have not fixed. So did not find solution. I ended up giving up on it. Here's a screenshot of error.

Authorize+Phone purchase error:



Customers also get this error when using phone:



This is an eBay setup 100% to process via authorize, customer is using phone. Gets this error. Can't complete payment. So I gave up on Authorize..what's an eBay account where customers can buy using their phones ?

Would not recommend Authorize unless you are sure it will work for your mobile customers.... a very huge part of sells nowadays.

Hi I applied for a authorize account but they said an underwriter would contact me.

Does anyone know what specifics they will ask?

I believe I was initially denied due to my poor credit history.

Now im getting an email saying that my information has been transferred to ignite payments. It says I have to complete a form with them (ssn, business information , etc) so I can get a merchant account authorized.

Any advise?

Do you know how this service compares with 2checkout for drop shipping?

[likefrasers]

my question is, I have a authorized account and an ebay account, if I add this authorized account on ebay payment, I can click off the "paypal" payment option so buyer will be forced to pay me via authorize.net account?

Or, buyers are forced to pay via paypal by ebay system?

Please advise before I move on. Thank you so much!

You can remove the paypal option if you have another online payment processing
like authorize.

What info did authorize need? I was considering applying but it's $50
and they won't tell me what info they are going to need.

[likefrasers]

It's easy to apply for authorise but then you need to have a merchant account which is a big headache to apply.
