Website, Static IP and Paypal
Heres the story...
I have a website I have been using for awhile...It has a Static IP Address and I host on Fatcow..When I first started, I used the paypal buttons on my website along with ebay sales...Legit....2 Years ago is when my competitor got me booted from ebay...just like so many other stories here on ebay...So both ebay and paypal was down...My first concern was for the website...I had to take the buttons off the website...
Like so many others..i rushed and made up different paypal accounts...put the different buttons on the website...but would get booted quick...now looking back...pretty sure its because of the statis IP...
So I found Google checkout and used that for years and was happy with that service until they stopped in November...Then I switched everything over to WePay..despite the reviews...I liked them...easy to use, different shipping options...I like the ease of making the buy it now buttons...and Now they are stopping the buttons and going directly to API which sucks because they are the last company that I can find that use that method...
I dont do enough sales to warrent spending...a monthly fee on a shopping cart...and then a card processor like brain tree...
I have been on stealth on ebay for around 2 years with a main account on both the bay and paypal...and things have been going well..
I guess the question is...if I can get Fatcow to change my IP address...am I going to be alright with putting the paypal buttons back on the website...
I feel it might be a risk...and everything is going well...I would like some thoughts from the board members..
Sorry for the long post..
Steve
