You can not submit your listing due to the following problems
Attention!
We noticed that you chose to offer credit card as a payment option. To confirm that you can support this process, please fax a copy of your most recent merchant processing statement to (866) 309-6493.
Please include your eBay user ID, phone number and email address in the fax so that we can contact you.
While we confirm your merchant credit card account, you can continue listing items on eBay with PayPal as the payment method. PayPal is convenient to use and offers buyers and sellers protection against fraud, chargebacks, and theft of financial data.

Hmmm, that's a new one. But would it hamper using a Merchant account?

once you give them your real merchand account numbr they can track you down by your name or block that merchand account Number..
this is new war.. only the tough ones will stay in the game in the fusher..
they pushing tworwards paypal

this note dont look like to be random any moore thats wird
any one else try to register new account and post to day ?

lol. I'm telling yaw they are reading this board.. Notice how everytime we overcome an obstacle Ebay counter acts on it within 1 month

I dont know if that would work for ebay, cause you can say I dont use merchant account I use propay or any other of the payment processers they allow

Naw that cant be real. Ebay wouldn't use toll free numbers for fax numbers. I call this bluff

You think i got nothing better to do than make up ebay notes. It is real and it started today.
Just now i have open 3 accounts and i got this same note.

Are you in the us?

yes im in us

any one can confirm this note?
On the selling form do not sellect paypal, just select merchant account. And you will get this note. I dont want paypal to be connected to my account. Never had problem untill today. Yes you can accept other payment methods like allpay, bid pay, propay... but this will be in addition to paypal not instead of.

lol yeah right. Their going to call and confirm it huh....

I'm going to guess that they are only asking that of you because there was something suspicious about your account. But if not then this is sort of an easy fix isn't it? Just input a bank account and select that as your method of payment.

Wow.. you ever notice it's like half the stuff on eBay now is propaganda of how great Paypal is..?

I'm going to read their forums. I know people will be talking about this in there

I think that within time all sellers will have to accept paypal, it's more money for them. So sad.

Im not talking about paying your seller fees. Im referring to accepting payments from buyers

I don't think eBay is stupid enough to do that. They may try to take more control like they're doing now, but they'll always have to offer alternatives to Paypal.

People, go right now and open a new account and try to post one auction. In the payment option, do not select PayPal, but select Merchant Account. And see if you get this msg or not. Because if it isn't just me, then this is a huge problem for all of us who don't accept paypal!

leonid5000 are you listing through auctiva?

No but i don't think that matters.
so basically you cant post anything unless you fax the paper to them or accept paypal. So if you want to use merchants account you must fax the paper to them and wait who knows how long before they will let you post.

Hope that this is not true....
Hope it is just random

is not random for me. 5 new ebay accounts i have tried and the same note..
Maybe is just me then i can fix it but if it is for everyone then it could be a problem. Can any one try to open new account and post something? and tell as that there is no note like that ?
