My question is if I link my authorize.net merchant account with ebay and eliminate PayPal payment, does Authorize.net process payments other than credit cards? Will I still be able to accept payments from people with paypal accounts?

I do not think authorize.net is approved on ebay as an accepted payment method. At least until the divorce between ebay/paypal.

You can use a merchant account with eBay. Authorize.net is one of the three approved gateways. So if you have a merchant account and authorize.net gateway attached to it, just put your authorize.net API login and transaction key into eBay. You will need to use a credit card to run a test transaction. A vanilla visa card can be used for that. You will be able to process credit and debit cards only, no PayPal payments.
Keep this in mind, from my experience you will have to call in to get the new merchant account working. Once I add a merchant account, I always have to call in. They don't ask any database questions, nor do they ask for paperwork. They put you on hold, I guess to look at your account, and then they come back and say that your merchant account is set and ready to go. I always have to do this. I'm not sure if that is the standard or if it's just me.

I know I am responding a post several months old but has anyone had success with Authorize.net? Just curious because I saw a seller on eBay yesterday without PayPal just using Authorize.net. My guess is that their PayPal had been limited in the past.

So you have to get a new Authorize.net FOR each Ebay Account?
You can't just link 1 Authorize.net account to several Ebay Accounts?
Thanks. Quote:

You will have to use a different authorize.net account with each ebay account. Each authorize.net account has a unique api login and key. When you link your authorize.net account to your eBay account you will have to put your api login and key into ebay. Therefore, if you use the same authorize.net account with more than one ebay account, you will have to put the same api login and key into each ebay account. eBay will know that it's the same person and the accounts will be linked. |

All I use is authorize.net. I walked away from crook-pal over a year ago. I can't speak for others and their experiences, but I've had no problems using authorize.net and no paypal. I just mention right in the beginning of my description that paypal is not accepted. I say that I accept secure payments via credit card and debit card (be sure to use the word "secure"). I still sell and I still get the price I want. Sure, some people are so brainwashed that they won't bid since they can't pay with paypal, but that hasn't caused any drop off in business for me.
Also, you may want to remind your buyers that when they pay with credit or debit card they are still protected by eBay buyer protection, which is pretty much the same thing as paypal's buyer protection. When I do this a lot of the buyers who are skeptical feel much better and they end up bidding.

I've heard of them before and see people use them but not recently.
Does the merchant make it clear to the customer that you don't have access to their CC# etc just like Paypal?

Is it stealth friendly at all or is it kinda like a one time deal giving up your tax id? You can PM me if you don't want to share with board. Thanks already for all the information. For US Sellers this is always a big deal in how to approach handling an account.

Thats easy question to answer. With authorize.net you are in charge of you own money...money arrive in you checking account 1-3 days. No bull****ting or limitation of your money, or sudden surprises.. or disputes....basically 1000 times better than paypal.
You can run your business and steady grow fast ,without ever thinking about getting ,.ucked by paypal again. No brainer i would say...

Under eBay's current policy, you may use ONLY PayPal or a merchant account for payment. They used to allow services like Moneybookers and ProPay, but that vanished a few months ago. eBay's separation agreement with PayPal stipulates that PayPal MUST process a certain percentage of eBay's transactions, or eBay has to pay PayPal the difference.

Would it not be better to have BOTH? Some people don't like to pay with paypal and some don't like merchant accounts. Would your sales not increase having both as an option?
Can you use authorize net also on your own website in addition to ebay?

I would need something like authorize.net on my own website, too. But I noticed that they accept only US merchants. Is there something similar to authorize.net which will accept EU merchcants, too? (PS(most of my customers are in US)
