High Risk Category, Google Checkout, and Merchant Account

TMiles · #1 03-16-2008

I posted this in another thread, but thought it fit better here. So, I am going to give this a shot. Please be patient with the NEWBIE.....

1. I sell consumer electronics which as of February 2008, are now a high risk category. I simply will not accept PAYPAL due to them already withholding hundreds of dollars of my money. However, EBay is requiring a "safe" payment method for their new high risk categories.

I wanted to use "Google checkout," but EBay does not consider this a "safe" payment method. Am I stuck with opening a merchant account?

2.. With a merchant account, will EBay ever see my personal information that I use on the merchant account? (i.e. address, name, etc.) In other words, on a return shipping label and invoice, I would like to use a legit address...

I accept returns in order to keep a solid feedback rating. Due to this, I need some kind of address for buyers to send back an item.

Thank you all in advance for you help and insight......

Well, we might be a little patient. But it will depend. LOL. I answered your other
post. Try not to repeat the posts as that does cause people to lose patience.

Sorry,

I edited my first post in the other category and removed these two questions. In other words, I edited the first post your are referring to and removed these two questions and posted them here. Likewise, I am not repeating information.

I am not that much of a Newbie..............

This has been answered three different times in the same thread. Why did you need to revive it?
