Ebay asking me to Fax them Merchant account statement
 

Hi there,

So I recently signed up for a service called CCNOW, all is going well & people were steadily paying through it without too many issues.

I went to list some new items & was met with the message below:

Attention Sellers:
Attention!
We noticed that you chose to offer credit card as a payment option. To confirm that you can support this process, please fax a copy of your most recent merchant processing statement to (408) 904-7387. Please ensure the statement is complete and includes all pages.

Please include your eBay user ID, phone number and email address in the fax so that we can contact you.

While we confirm your merchant credit card account, you can continue listing items on eBay with PayPal as the payment method. PayPal is convenient to use and offers buyers and sellers protection against fraud, chargebacks, and theft of financial data.

Has anyone successfully managed to fax EBay a statement & get there merchant account approved?

And if so what did you send them? Because my CCNOW account is pretty new & I'm told EBay will just decline it, if I send a CCNOW statement.

Thanks in advance!

CCNOW is not a real merchant account instead its payment processor or billing, ebay will not approve it as a merchant account , you'd better go with a real merchant account info and accept payments through ccnow.

Ebay requires me to fax them a merchant statement.. does ebay accepts a statement with no previous transactions cus my merchant account is new .. just got it set up yest. Does anyone knows if it works out ok with ebay?

As far as the stealth guide says, ebay and paypal don't have time to check whether the merchant statement is legit anyway, so you can always just make one yourself lol

But as for your question, im not sure how they would look at it

...did you check the credit card option? Unchecking that will avoid the message but then folx will want to use pp - THAT's where you get creative.

RSOT,

My paypal account is limited (and it says my appeal is denied) due to some recent activities and it need to be closed. Hence, i set up a merchant account. But if i un-check credit card and paypal.. how else can i accept payment(s)? Is there a way that i can get around it? Does anyone has an answer to it?
