Linking Merchant account
 

I have a Merchant account with Authorize.net through Flagship Merchant Services. If I set up a new EBAY account and I use the Merchant Account do the EBAY name and address have to match the Merchant Account? Ebay now requires checkout through Ebay only. They're getting wiser. So, when I give them my Merchant Account login name and key will they have access to all my information and be able to track me? .

Can someone please answer this. I have the same question as well. Thanks in advance

I'm curious too!

They get your:

API
Key

Thats it...

not enough info.

his questions is whether they will track him for using his own real merchant account details in more than one ebay account or not?!

They get your API and login Key from Authorize.net thats it, question was answered. They do not see your merchant account information.

This means that you can use the same merchant account with more than one ebay acccount, Right?

You would simply need a new Authorize.net for each account which is what I do all linked to your merchants account, a.net is just a gateway.

Thats great and i may be trying this too like you.
Tell me, are you able to recieve paypal payments for your listings while you are linking a merchant account not a paypal account?

You can offer Paypal, and offer your merchants account together. The Paypal payments will not be going through your merchants account but, also most people will only want to pay with Paypal then. I got a merchants account to totally get rid of Paypal, but not offering it buyers have to use there credit card to pay me, I am in control of my money not Paypal.

Yes, you can offer both but as you said that most buyers will choose to pay you using paypal so in this case your transactions through the merchant account will be very low and you will still recieve payments to your paypal which isn't a solution!

Just dont offer Paypal only merchant credit card then in your listings, if you get a ball busta who wants to Paypal then let them, this is what I do with no issues.

Wouldn't that affect your selling and profits badly?
this will make you only target people who can pay through their cc while you know that more than 95% of the buyers on ebay just use paypal to pay for their purchases!
Isn't there any gateway to make paypal payments be proceeded and added to your merchant card?

I have never had an issue with sales with using my merchants vs only using Paypal, if they need the item I am selling which they always do, then they play by my rules. The real business world doesnt revolve around ebay and Paypal.

Hi,

can you tell me how to get multi authorize.net from one merchant account?

Thanks

After I added my ID and Key to eBay for my Authorize.net account, it said my account was successful, however it would not let me list it as a form of payment unless I contacted eBay customer support.

When you contact customer support, then want a print out from Authorize.net with your information showing you are the account owner.

So unless the names match on both ends, good luck.

Just open new authorize.nets

Generally your authorize.net setup and API info is provided by the merchant account provider. Are you getting your multiple authorize accounts from authorize, or from the merchant provider?

Authorize.net provides you with a login/key, with each new Authorize.net is a new login/key. The merchant bank is its own thing, Authorize.net is just a gateway.

This is not available in the UK sadly - you have to offer Paypal

@GTran, even with a merchant account in UK? like proven business with documents etc?

Even with all that Lumberjack - you can have your own merchant account as well - but most people will use Paypal - 'the buyers choice'
