Selling and bypassing Paypal completely. How?

[sanderb]

Just brainstorming here.. Is it possible to accept $100 payments from people, whereby I can let them pay with paypal into some other paypal that is somehow linked to me indirectly? So I can bypass the problems of holding paypal accounts for myself.

I am thinking about having people pay into my account with sites like Freelancer.com maybe. Or have them send a payment to an exchanger so I get some other e-currency into my account etc.

- I know trading websites don't like third-party deposits.

- Also, when I buy something and let someone else pay for it, I have the problem of a different address being attached to the paypal. Might get delivery going the wrong way. Could also cause confusion with the buyer. (Although this might be solved with constructing a payment link to email, that holds custom info pointing to me.)

Any ideas on bypassing the paypal problem like this?

that sounds like capitulation. You didnt become an administrator on an ebay susp and paypal limited forum to do that. Got to outsmart them!

People are 10x more willing to buy with paypal than with anything else. And I am not using ebay..

Just get a merchant payment processor that accepts other people`s pa yp al.

Any suggestion on which payment processor? I would like it to be as much as possible the normal 'paypal' experience..

Dont want to look too professional..

If you are selling on ebay and ask buyers to do this I am very certain one of your buyers will alert ebay real quick.

If you account is 2007 or before you are in luck with the merchant account. If older then you have to jump through all kinds of hoops to get it to work for you.
