Limited because of my Yahoo Store?!

FrancisK · #1 10-21-2008

It looks like Paypal decided to limit me because I sell knives on my website, they instructed me to remove them from my site to remove the limitation. Well since knives and such are my primary items I said to hell with them and I will just not use them for my site. I was planning on going with a merchant account anyway so it just forced my hand.

The thing is though I include a flier to my site with all of my Ebay and Amazon sales so Paypal is a priority in my mind since Ebay has everyone brainwashed into thinking Paypal is actually a good way to pay for items.

So i decided to go with CCNOW since they accept paypal payments even though their rates are ridiculous. Unfortunately that was a bit hasty as I found out CCNOW isn't an actual merchant account I can link up with my Yahoo Store.

So since I can't use CCnow with my Yahoo Store, what are my options? I would continue to use Paypal but removing all the knives from my site isn't feasible, it's a joke anyway since I don't sell anything that isn't currently being sold on Ebay. Are there any merchant accounts that accept Paypal which I can hook up to my Yahoo Store?

I wrote Paypal for clarification on which items they would like removed, if it is a few I can deal with it but if they want all of the knives removed it isn't feasible but knowing them they probably will give me some automated response. This is my original 4 year old paypal account with 100 verified under my actual name and information. I still use it for iOffer and every other site except for ebay and now my Yahoo Store. I also have a stealth Paypal account but I'm afraid if I link it up to my Yahoo Store they will just discover it is me and I will lose that one.

Thanks in advance,
Francis

I would try a good merchant account like Authorize Now, LinkPoint, etc...

I have found that my website sales have gone up and I don't have a ton of "pending" orders when I got rid of Paypal and just accepted credit cards through a regular merchant account...on eBay it seems people are brainwashed but a regular website I have found people find Paypal confusing.

Thank you for the reply, after speaking with Paypal on the phone, which is like speaking with a retarded child, the limitation was removed because I removed paypal completely from my website. I enrolled in Chase paymenttech which is endorsed by Yahoo and I was approved.
