damn paypal...

ebayphobia · #25 10-23-2007

I used Bidpay and it did not work : it will deny almost all of your buyers' payment (80% for me ). They gave no specific reason. Just deny and hold your customers' money for 2 weeks before refund back to their accounts. I have customers crying for this... Not recommend.
Merchant: If you do not sell in big volume, no need to sweat over this because it will charge monthly fee ($20) plus ask lots of questions..
I am swiching to CCNOW and it accepts all type of credit cards and PAYPAL. Setting up an account takes less than 2 minutes, but it charges $10/month . It has not denied any of my customers, but you will have to manually send the invoice to your customer .
Paypal is not one of the choice for me anymore. My paypal and Ebay accounts get linked and suspended very quickly nowadays.

That's good to here about CCNOW.. I'll look into that.

aspkin checkout propay.com it seems just like paypal. You keep a balance and you get a mastercard to use your balance with. The fees are pretty close to paypals minus the sign up fee.

will do...

MerchantPlus is only for us customers or not? the business name has to be real?

**aspkin** · #30 10-24-2007

Chris Hanson could probably answer that. He uses it.

And I havent accepted paypal in a whole year and I still get tons of buyers..

I swear Ebay has even brainwashed some sellers with their Paypal nonsense lol

I guess I'm one of those that has been brainwashed, even though I wish like hell I knew how to draw in the big bucks without using PP.. At least it's comforting to hear that such a thing is possible. Chris, you have just given me a shining new hope!

Chris Hanson · #33 10-24-2007

i have 3 merchant accounts with bad credit and no business or tax id. Contrary to the belief, they are very easy very easy to get..

I can help you get set up for a small fee

koalawash · #34 10-24-2007

$ is tight for me right now (#&% Paypal!) but I'll see what I can do.. PM sent.

koalawash · #35 10-24-2007

I cannot follow instructions and keep quoting the post directly above mine.

koalawash · #36 10-30-2007

Hey, I don't remember saying that

lolpie · #37 01-09-2008

I was wondering...if eBay and PP link automatically for accounts made after 7/11, it is safe to use an account made PRIOR to that date with a new PayPal account (without linking them)?

ytl · #38 01-19-2008

I dont think so lolpie, up until fairly recently they didnt link. But now, they do.

Mr Hanson seems to be making some tidy bits from this thread, I applaud his sensibilities.

ytl · #39 01-19-2008

i heard some rumours about ebay forcing paypal use.... is this true, and if it doesnt that make this entire thread redundant

Chris Hanson · #40 01-19-2008

Just get a merchant account. Thats your best bet

My merchant account is integrated with Ebay checkout

Props please

The guide is outdated but aspkin is updating it. Basically Paypal is out or you will be suspended and linked

hi chris how long if you use paypal will you be linked and suspended. maybe this is how i was linked before. But i was suspended mighty quick? could this have been the reason? thanks

BIgrab:
He is talking in gENERAL tERMS, AS eBAY owns Paypal now..
So , the General Consensus, is no matter, Paypal will end up limiting you, once the sales start to flow..
-- If thats what limited you before?/ Well, only you would know that-- was the old ebay acct linked with ppal?
---IN OTHER WORDS, just because you have a pp acct, does NOT mean the ebay acct goes down,
--On the Contrary, they want you to use pp, It is through our OWN ACTIONS, that cause:
a.) ebay accts to go down
b.) Pp accts to get limited...
(I hope I understood your question??)
Good Luck
