CCNow & paypal
 

got a cc-now account and want to post items internationally. only problem is that for sales in Australia and the UK (where 90% of my items are shipped) eBay requires you to accept paypal and provide your paypal email address in the listing. I can accept paypal through CCnow, but I don't have an email address to provide in my auction listing...does anyone have a solution? I called ccnow an asked and they said that i could just put "orders@ccnow.com" in the paypal email address blank but if someone tried to pay they wouldn't be able to pay through the ebay check out system and I'd have to invoice them separately. Other thing is that eBay doesn't like ccnow from what i've heard so i don't really want to advertise the fact that i am processing with them in my nice golden, pre-07 account. so then i thought of using a random email address that doesn't have a paypal account tied to it but I don't know what would happen if the customer tried to send money to it (like if i didn't happen to be sitting right in front of the computer at the end of the auction and they tried to pay through eBay's checkout system)....would their money be tied up in paypal limbo?

You don't want to put an email address that you don't have access too. If someone sends you money via Paypal to an email account that is not registered with Paypal you will receive a claim your money link in Ebay. You can tell them to cancel the payment and tell them how you want to get paid. If the payment stays unclaimed for I think 13 days it is returned back to the sender after that.
