How do you get buyer feedback on new account without using paypal?
 

I opened a stealth account and tried to buy something. Before it would let me bid, it said I had to link to paypal. That wasn't a big deal because I already had paypal set up. But... If I wanted to skip paypal altogether and just use a merchant account. How would I be able to get the initial buyer feedback?

anyone have insight on this?

Are you trying to manipulate your feedback? I'm confused... how do you use a merchant account to buy?

Buyer feedback - add a prepaid card to paypal, use the card through paypal to buy stuff. Get feedback as a buyer, request feedback be added OR ELSE

Some sellers require a bidder to have a paypal account.

That's funny cause I was using PP only on my adds and then I got emails from ebay that you can buy without PP. I read somewhere you can just buy off of ebay with just a CC and no PP. Maybe ebay wants to be like amazon, quick and smooth? When I get time I'll see into it.

This should go into the subscribed area now cause I have some ideas. If you have the same ideas wait till this goes to the subscribed area.

You can pay via pay with only a credit card....

I'm not trying to manipulate feedback, i would just rather skip paypal altogether but I guess that's not possible. Ebay said I had to have my paypal linked to my account before I could even place a bid from the new account.

With all due respect... why is adding a credit card to paypal and using it a big deal? It would be just like adding one to ebay....

So you can find a card that works with ebay then buy ebooks forever? Thats why I was hush hush. How can a guest be suspended for buying 100 ebooks?

The process of setting up new verified paypal accounts is kind of a pain. If the process could be avoided, that would be best. But apparently there's no way around it?

You don't have to set up a verified paypal account to buy something.
