New to Merchant Account
 

I am new to merchant accounts, I have always used paypal and I hate it! I just recently registered a new Ebay and paypal account with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ details, since my real info was suspended and can no longer be used. I would much rather use a merchant account then to take the chance of paypal holding my money for 180 days and asking for my ssn. I am looking at ccnow. Is it a good merchant account to use? Also I'm pretty sure ebay won't allow ccnow so how do I get my customers to pay with it. Can it be setup to send automatic pay buttons? Do I use my ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info on the ccnow account or my real info?

CCNow is okay, the only issue is eBay is strongly against it.. and you'll have to manually invoice buyers..

Another option is using Cart Manager which can integrate into your eBay auctions and send invoices automatically. Cart Manager can be used with Google Checkout, Authorize.net, PayPal.. etc

Thanks for the response. How much is Cart Manager? I clicked pricing but it says I need a reseller.

Not sure of the actual price. You can get a free 14 day trial. You DO need to use your real ID for this and any other merchant account.

Id stay away from First Data at all costs.

why newguy??

If you want to legitimately use a merchant account with ebay then you will have to get it approved by them.

Are you sure about that? One was created with stealth information and the deposits are going in fine.

Why so? I thought Ebay approves First Data easier than others? I just opened recently First Data Merchant Acc., but haven't linked it yet to any Ebay account. Is there something I should know before I do? Thanks..

I believe Modee advised First Data big time last summer...but this may be outdated now.
