Try having it happen 3 times in a row!:D
I have no confidence in these buyers paying outside of Paypal.
Ebay has become alot of work and not much real security in knowing whether you will be able to keep you're $ (Paypal).

I am having the same problem. I gave up on sending out Google checkout invoices.

Instead I am copying the link from Google Checkout Invoice and putting it into my own checkout email that I copied from Auctiva.

But still no responses after 3 Buy It Nows!

do your auctions say that you offer merchant account payments only, or do they also say you offer paypal and you then send them a ccnow invoice?

They don't send an invoice just a notice that they won and to click "Pay Now" or whatever...they can still checkout themselves...You can turn checkout off in preferences but if you accept Paypal they can still do it..

You can state that there may be a 21 day delay due to Paypal's new rule(the rule where they can hold your money for 21 days) show them the link that explains this...this should work since you're not bashing paypal, but merely stating the facts , you can also show them part of Paypal's TOS where they clearly state that they are not a bank.

Paypal does not charge fees to refund. In fact, they refund the Paypal fees on any transaction you send back to buyer.

I say I take Paypal and Money Orders. I really stay on top of it tho. I make sure im there waiting when the auctions end and I list daily instead of a ton ending all at once. My listings are more quality than quantity so its easier for me to stay on top of things. I also message bidders towards the end and let them know to wait for an invoice.

Here is my procedure HOW do I send a CCNOW INVOICE???

That does not help. Buyers will simply hit the pay now button and considered the transaction over. They're not going to check their emails for your invoice. You'll have to state in your auction to wait for an email invoice from you and pray they read this and actually take it seriously.

I find most email to buyers gets sent their spam folders and even when it doesn't they tend not to check their email.

Is it? In the UK they have introduced a policy whereby all accounts must have a verified PP account linked (not sure if they have this in the US).

I KNOW that doesn't mean that you have to accept it on your auctions, at the moment, but after the end of April all UK sellers MUST accept Paypal as a payment method on ALL auctions.

Everybody knows that if you offer Paypal 90% of buyers will use it!

Default accepting payments - alternatives to PayPal

since ebay will require you to accept payments thru paypal only soon what are the best options to avoid paypal.

I see 2checkout.com is offering paypal payments so I was wondering if anyone is using 2checkout.com for their ebay sales as I see they don't allow any auction sales to be procsses thru them.


what is the best way to go,.
