I'm in Australia and use paymate on my website - I usually receive the funds in my bank account the next day, so am pretty happy with them.
Paymate is based in Australia/NZ so I guess it isn't the best option for cc processing in the US

Do you know why they canceled your sales? What category were you selling in?

please share how come they cancelled your sales? I was going to use paymate for vero items is that ok?

I have been using Paymate now for about a month. I haven't had any problems. But when someone pays for a item you have to wait up to 3 business days for Paymate to process it. When you log into your Paymate account it will show "processing" on the transaction. I have been waiting until it shows "paid" which means the money is sent to my bank account before I ship. I have been selling VERO items and had no problems. Some of these are in $400+ range

Paymate is good.

Do you know how to refund on Paymate?

I am not sure how to refund on Paymate as I have not come across that issue. I believe you can notify Paymate that they need to refund the transaction and then they will. I would read the terms of service on the Paymate website if you have any questions

I don't think it's a good idea to sell vero if you used your real info with paymate, the company of the product you're selling can get your info from paymate just like with paypal.

You have a good point. If I get a listing removed due to VERO then I just stop selling that product and use another account. I also don't sell the same item over and over. I mix my stuff up quite a bit

Paymate is so SLOW.. they are processing my first payment for 4 days.

Paymate is a little slow. They say to allow up to 3 business days.

Anybody know how to use a label printer with paymate?

Is it hard to get accepted?

They accepted me, so they would most definitely accept nearly anyone else. :thumb:

I would definitely make sure that you've got 10+ SELLER feedback and at least 98% positive before you open the account with them. If you meet their minimum requirements that's pretty much all you need. Only thing I could come up with as to why they would not accept a new account is if you use a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ SSN or they check your credit and find some skeletons. I don't think they go around checking every new seller's credit though. I'm positive they didn't check mine.

I applied for the merchant account, isn't that the way to go? What's the difference between the merchant and standard account?

I am also worried about a credit check. I will surely be denied if this is the case.

Good question holyhell.

What about shipping out? Do you guys ship out before payment clears or do you wait the 5-10 days and then ship?

I wouldn't ship out first, paymate's too unpredictable, so far it's been almost 2 weeks and all my payments are still pending.

Im in the same boat. Still my payments are processing. Might go to live in australia lol.

Yeah this is all getting confusing. When listing on Ebay, it says you have to get a merchant account to ship to certain countries.
Just wondering if the Paymate standard account is considered a merchant account by Ebay. Does this make any sense gang?

Paymate is an authorized ebay merchant processor. Go to to the help menu on ebay and search "payment method". You will see what it says about paymate.

From what I recall I believe one of the differences is the amount of money you are limited to. The standard one is 5,000 a month and for a fee, the merchant is 10,000 a month.

How do you explain a 2+ week waiting time to impatient customers?
Don't you receive negative or neutral feedback by the time they receive their product? :lol:

I'm sure I will eventually that's why I'm done with paymate.
