Authorize only accepted from ebay
 

So I know there are few authorize.net specialists here and I recently made few sales and was able to get authorize.net to capture the payments since paypal is gone. The first buyer didn't like that there was bit of a loophole to go through and cancelled the order but the second buyer (with help of his kids) was able to pay the transaction. Was told that ebay app doesn't have a way to pay via authorize and have to go to a pc desktop to pay (or maybe even a phone browser?)

My question is following

1). Sellers using authorize.net do you guys write the details that you only accept this and have to use a pc to pay for it?

2). If first question is yes, do they get confused and end up cancelling usually? I don't mind the cancellation cause I undertand paypal is way to go but getting a bad feedback would be bad.

3). I have two authorize.net accounts and using one for my main (non banned ebay account) and wondering if using my second authorize.net account for stealth accounts is ok?

Seems the api credentials / key only shows when accepting card on ebay so will ebay only see this and not my full details?

1) no
2) 75-90% of buyers cancel.
3) Should be fine. Each has a unique API key, so there's nothing to worry about.

PM me if you want to talk details. I've been running auth.net on ebay for about 18 months.

Thread moved to proper forum section.

Sure, it's okay for stealth. Authorize.Net doesn't care.

The percentage of people wanting to pay through Authorize.net is another thing.. I suspect most want PayPal
