Merchant Account Statements
 

I'm not getting any answers or help with this, its frustrating. I've searched high and low to no avail. Using paypal is a dead end so I need to fax merchant account statements to ebay to get approved and I'm set. Problem is, I just signed up for my merchant account so I have no statements to show eBay as proof.

Can someone please help with this? I need a photoshopped copy of a merchant account with my info (preferably a few as I will be setting up multiple accounts) to fax. Its pointless to follow all the instructions of the stealth guide if I cant use my own merchant account.

Thanks ANY help is appreciated. Willing to PAY if that is what it takes.

why not just buy a pre 11/07 ebay account from someone, so that way you dont have to fax ebay anything?

I want to set up multiple accounts... and it just doesn't seem feasible since they cost over a G a piece.

start off with one account first mate

All you have to do is contact the merchant provider and explain to them what you need. Usually they will send you a letter saying you have an account with Merchant X saying your account is active and in good standing and that they can verify that by calling xxx-xxx-xxxx and asking for John Smith. I've done it a million times and it works fine.

Thanks for the advice. I will try that out. Question though, do you think they actually call to verify cause I want to do this for several accounts.

Same thing happened with me. Just fax them whatever your merchant acct. people sent you when you set up your new acct. Or go into their site, where your acct. info is, and print out those pages and send them in. I did that, blacked out all personal information, and they accepted it. Don't know how that constitutes verifying the acct. since I could be sending in info from accounts I have nothing to do with, but they accepted it.
Also, it is my understanding from others on these boards that you can use the same Merchant Acct. info for different accts. Black out the last part of the Acct. number to be safe.
