Invoicing Tips ((Avoiding Paypal))
I just wanted to share my invoicing tips I have been using with success to get people to pay via merchant account.
The main thing is an incentive or stipulation that keeps them waiting for your invoice as you have to adjust it. What I focus on is some kind of discount if a certain dollar amount is bid up to (one I know it will reach). I offer free shipping if bid goes up to x amount of dollars. Shipping discounts. Free shipping with BIN (have to disable immediate payment requirement). It depends on the item. Include multiple item discounts in your description but don't specify. I sometimes offer “holiday†discounts for a limited time and mention I will adjust the invoice and send it to them. I say I ship overseas in the description but don't fill out that part in the listing process.
Acquire the buyers email and send them your invoice from Ccnow, Old Paypal, Google Checkout, or whatever you use.
