How to convince buyers merchant account is safe
 

So in the past I've had problems with people they buy and shove paypal down my throat and think everything else is unsafe.

Well I've now been on my accounts in every single auction added stuff that explains how paypal is unsafe.... to the buyer. Buyers don't care how if you ship to someone in the USA without a confirmed address, they get the item for free, how in the USA and UK they need an AVS credit card and you must pay a huge amount of money to ship it registered mail to get it tracked. Nor do buyers care how if you ship to any other country of someone who paid via paypal, you have just gave your product away free.

No buyers care how paypal will not refund them if the seller has no funds in their account. Or how paypal always wants to charge your bank account and sometimes will do erroneous tripple charges for a single payment that you can't reverse and the additional two payments vanish into paypal's pockets. Or how paypal likes to hammer bank accounts to rack up $30 in NSF charges.

While there's hundreds of ebay guides saying how paypal is unsafe to the seller, there's still a few ebay guides that tell how paypal is unsafe for the buyer.
