I Want to loose paypal

[Iambree]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to get back up and running on ebay but its just so fustrating that i keep hitting these snags, So i decided today to just say F*** paypal.
Im gonna open a merchant account as a dba account. But im a little confused on the process after ive opened it. like...
1. When will i be asked to submit the merchant information to ebay and will i have to alter those papers at all??
2.When listing an item do you leave the paypal option out? and add mechant account?
3. do i invoice my winners with instructions on how to pay??

Can someone recommend a good merchant account to me that will work with ebay.
Thanks

1. You'll need to have your merchant account approved by eBay. You'll need to show them statements. :(

2. This is sneaky; there are a couple of ways to do this.

3. Some merchant accounts you can use with auctiva which will do this for you. Merchant Plus will work with auctiva to do this for you.

Some people use google checkout even though it's banned. I don't know how they get away with it.

yeah google checkout is really risky, all a disgruntled customer has to do is report you to ebay.

ohh also, aspkin. so any merchant account that offers authorize.net as a gateway can be used with auctiva right?

I know of people who been using google checkout for awhile now no problems.. Of course if your selling counterfeits you'll have some disgruntled customers

I'm pretty sure yes. My Merchant plus works fine.
