Basic eBay Settings

Check Item Status / Resend Payment Instructions

You don't have to mess with any of those options, just sit back and wait for your option to end.

[2006bmr]

[2006bmr]

ok right now im thinking it might be something in my google checkout account. I just resent the invoice to the lady straight from google checkout and she's claiming its still asking her to creat an account??? i thought you could just pay through google without making an account. please advise modee

[2006bmr]

it sounds to me like my buyer is from canada, she to had problems with entering her aderss info.

[2006bmr]

thanks alot modee u been a real help. So you are getting a year free with cartmanager for helping them catch this bug???

[Chris Hanson]

naw Modee, that just mean they are trying to get out of paying

[2006bmr]

HEY MODEE, today i sent an invoice straight from google to a guy from ebay, i also sent a copy to myself. i opened it just to see fi it wanted me to sign up in order to pay, turns out it's asking the buyer to sign up with google in order to complete the checkout. whats goin on with Google, i remember i sent a same copy of the invoice to myself a three weeks ago just to see, and it didng require me or the buyer to sign up in order to pay. someone help, anyway to fix this thing???

[Chris Hanson]

How much does it cost for a monthly fee for Cart Manager service after the trial.

If I have cartmanager and GC linked to an ebay account which gets suspended can I link the same cartmanager and GC acount to a new ebay account? Can ebay link me to the old sus. account like this?

i really would like to hear a response to the question directly above

[mr burns]

Can someone help me please?
I have signed up for google checkout but i cant find my merchent key
Is there 2 google check outs?One for selling and onre for buying cause when i log in, the page is all about my buying history
I have been stuck on this problem for days now and i have looked though this site and cant find a answer

[longisland88]

Thanks modee good info as usual

mr burns,
yeah there are 2 different sites. This is the one for selling https://checkout.google.com/sell/

To find your merchant key and merchant ID go to the "settings" tab at the top. Then on the left click "intergration" its the 5th one down or so.

[mr burns]

Nooooooooooooo australians cant use google checkout!

[mr burns]

Do i need a merchant account anyway? can i just tell the winner that they can pay direct into my account?

[longisland88]

directly into what account? Your bank account?

[longisland88]

haha. Burns I think you mean wire transfer? iv done one of those before there not worth it. I was charged a $15 fee from my bank(bank of america) plus its a hassle to give your bank account info to a buyer and explain to them how to do it. Alot of people would just back out and find another seller.

2 quick questions

1. I have 3 ebay accounts, how do i link my Cartmanger to all 3? i cant seem to figure it out

2. Under prefences on GoogleCheckout, it gives me the option of

A. Automatically authorize the buyer's credit card for the full amount of the order.

B. Automatically authorize and charge the buyer's credit card.

i assume B but just wanted to confirm since this s my first time using GC. Thanks and i look forward to your response

[mr burns]

Its cool i have finally found a merchant here in Australia,paymate
I had to tell two buyers to pay me via bank deposit before i found them though lol

Killedbyebay, I believe option "A" means that Google checkout will check to see if the amount to be charged is ok. Option "B" with authorize and charge in one step. Option "A" could be used for example, If an item is unavailable and you are unable to ship out the item. You can catch the charge before it happens to eliminate a refund to a customer. Thats what I like about it.
