Alternative to paypal

[Chris Hanson]

If you need a merchant statement or a alternative to Paypal

Electronic Transfer, Inc. credit card processing and merchant accounts

If you need a quick merchant account (for statement)and have less then perfect credit, you might want to try these people out. I just got approved for a 10k per month credit line and my credit is baaaaad..:( She said if I know of anyone else with less then perfect credit to apply. I was not charged a penny to get setup.

I faxed Ebay my new merchant account details and they approved it today so now I'm selling on Ebay again with a new account

Lets get away from Paypal and get take control of our business.

So now I have 3 merchant accounts total, well 4 including google.. I'am hoping everything works out well with this merchant account. I plan on spreading my sales between 3 merchant accounts..

I just applied with ET yesterday ... sick of fighting with Paypal - I used to have a merchant account that I used with eBay many years ago which I closed down when I was laying off ebay for a while (so I didn't have to pay the $10/month fee), but I remember it was sooooo nice ... so much better than Paypal!

[rollinlove]

yep I feel the same way, this fuc@%&! paypal is killing me I think a merchant account is the way to go from now on.

[Chris Hanson]

Yeah, thats the best way to fight against them.

Chris, when you say you were approved for 10K does that mean in receipts? I'm in the middle of a BK right now and prohibited from applying for any type of credit

[californiadreamer]

when faxing your merchant info....doesn't that have actual info about you....how are you getting around this when setting up "⊗⊗⊗⊗" info for ebay info???

[spunk]

It's fine if your merchant has your real info ... again, it is a privacy violation if they give up all your personal info to eBay. Merchants will let you create a DBA name that shows up on credit charge slips and you set that to be your eBay name and you should be good to go.

I dont know about BK, but they said they have a 99% approval rate. And 10k yes was my credit line , if I go over it they have the right to charge me more

Right just use a DBA, it only cost about $10 to get a name. That is what will show on your merchant account info. Thats how Ebay knows ⊗⊗⊗⊗ merchant accounts faxed in from the real

It cost me $10 for the state I am in. My state is kind of pro-business and Republican. I have heard it costs different amounts in different states. Someone said it costs $65 in Canada.

Do they need your SSN?

[ivegotinfo]

yeah a dba here in ontario costs 60$...damn money grabbing turds.

ballsack they probably do since its like a bank account, but the customer wont see it, theyll just see your dba name.

[Chris Hanson]

^^^ $60 shouldnt be nothing to you with all the counterfeits you sell

[sherrykosborn]

I use AuctionCheckout.com. They are fully integrated with Ebay, and it costs $29 a month for the whole thing.....merchant account, shopping cart, etc. They charge basically the same fees as paypal. The site is very user friendly and you can send custom invoices.
You can also add additional ebay ids, but they will cost you $15 extra per id you add.

Check it out!

I checked out ccnow, but they are charging 4.99% of your sales plus some other fees, not to mention you have to wait 14 days to get your money.

You can use paypal and a merchant account (assuming you dont have a lot of red flags) with ebay for the first 10 items and then they require you to fax in proof of having a merchant account - so that would apply to auctioncheckout as well.
