Happy days !!!!

Do you have a link to this info?

Here's a link.

eBay Australia Pressured on PayPal Payments Policy

I did it again. Didn't look where the thread was located.

Got my hopes up...thought it was USA. :(

But I'm happy for you ppl "Down Under"!

yes great news... makes stealth a bit easier now... with paymate once account is set up you dont need to log in, it processes automatically, and if using auctiva dont need to log into ebay once token is given... less IP problems...YAY
Anyone try to make stealth paymate yet? if so is it the same as paypal ie they dont check name on bank account?

But ppl would like to purchase stuff through pp. We will lost majority of customers if we just accept paymate. Is it correct?

You will be surprised on how many people hate paypal, if customers ask for paypal tell them paymate offers the same protection, and you can always have a paypal account as well if they insist...

i am not surprise that how ebay sellors hate pp. But customers probably not

Is paymate not owned by ebay as well? I dunno how this will affect the ability to make stealth accounts. I have yet to make my own since i am still learning. What will this mean for VERO items and bhakes?

I am guessing this is good news by all the responses :thumb:

dang man. you guys in OZ are so lucky. lol
i wish that would happen over here too! ;)

Mmm i think in the matter of stealth paypal makes it easier, because if anyone pays you with paypal, and they put through a dispute, it just limits the paypal not the ebay.

And ebay are pains in the butt to get to lift suspensions even with every document under the sun.

yeah but once paypal is gone forever you got to find a new way of processing payments..but onec ebay is gone ever..then you gotta make a new one!

any word yet though on if auctiva will support paymate. We need a stealth listing service that supports paymate

but the thing is most of buyers would like to buy from the sellers who have pay pal ,rite?

yeah..its such a common thing for buyers now..they think its full proof o.O

Would paymate link the same amount of info with ebay as paypal? Does this mean i can make a stealth ebay and use a paymate acount that uses info from a suspended paypal without there being problems?

Also what are paymates fees like compared to paypal?

paymate..interesting subject. people love it..people hate it..
o.O
