'IF' being the operative word. Am sure it will be a matter of being careful.

I agree, you have to be careful and that applies to all merchant accounts as well as to ebay. I do think more competition is a good thing though.

Been asking associates who use paymate on Oztion (an Australian alternative to ebay).
Overall the opinion is that they do like the fact that funds are in the bank accounts overnight. Now this may well be in Australia only. Sent a little questionnaire out & will give
an update when completed.

I would be happy with them if they dont try to run the same antics as paypal....

GreenBean:Could you ask them about chargeback situations...?Does Paymate fight them or just throw in the towel before the match has begun like paypal

^^^^James, that is the one point I am trying to get info about for us.

Alright..Paymate is officaly open(well not really)

Once you signup you have to submit a merchant application subject to approval from Wells Fargo.

There is an option of providing the buisness' EIN...BUT ALL owners on the accoiunt MUST provide their SSN.

What about Moneybookers? Do they require SSN too?

I guess paymate and propay both verify through wells fargo. And I found out wells fargo works with first data only to process credit cards. So i guess paymate and propay are both going through first data.

Yes money bookers requires S.S number also to work with ebay checkout. I just tried to sign up with them.

Google First Data Merchant Services. Check out the ripoff report links.

I wouldnt touch First Data with a 100 foot pole. And I am speaking from experience.

same here, they took out 30k from my bank account because i got chargebacks totaling about 1k only. I was negative in my bank account. *******s didnt even tell me anything. I got into a big mess with the bank.

You can submit a ACH dispute on the total amount and the bank will pull the funds back. Look into it. I had this done before with google checkout and got the full amount back. Now....google checkout then is trying to ruin my credit by sending me letters, but I have cause to fight them.

That's crooked! I bet they share the SS# with eBay, too!

does anyone knows how long does it take to get approved from PayMate?
it has been one week now since i applied.
Thank you

Its tougher to get on paymate+money bookers than paypal, paymate+ money bookers wants s.s. as soon as u sign up.

I sign up with paymate and yet to be approved i signed up on the 27th of feb. I dont plan to use it on ebay as it contans my real info

YUP..im still waiting also..

Any positive experiences with moneybookers?

Ive had the account with them for the past 4 years but only used it for internationals. I think once your paid, youre paid. But I am timid to integrate it into ebay.

Any thoughts on usage since integrating?

There is a positive:

Disputes are settled THROUGH the card holder..Meaning no PayPal BS.

Paymate has Yet to approve my application even after 2-3 weeks.

Money Bookers need sno applicaiton and integrated into eBay more easily.

and using it hasnt linked it to your old ebay accounts or anything??

Same here i havent heard a word from them sence i sent my application in. I wonder if its a scam to collect personal info?

Hi there,

Your merchant application has been submitted to our bank and is processing with them now. We do apologise for the delay caused by a large number of applications. Please be assured we will let you know the outcome as soon as possible
