does stealth work instantly? unsure what you mean, but yes you can start selling on a stealth account as soon as any other, although in some ways with stealth details you must be more careful. There are alternatives to paypal eg. ccnow , but you will not get much traffic through these merchants, in UK buyers prefer and opt for paypal and as you are obliges to offer it, they will want to pay by pp regardless of which invoices you send them. keep a merchant account, for those buyers that do not want to and ask not to use pp, in my experience less than 1%
there are a few alternatives to paypal, like nochex, pppay which are the main ones. Its probably a good idea to start promoting those, like maybe offering a 2% discount or something to people who pay this way - work out the difference in fees (I think its quite a lot, maybe 3% or so), and offer this the buyer...
That way we can move more people off ebay/paypal and onto other sites that actually treat their customers (and particularly sellers!) with less contempt.
Online commerce, eBay/PP style can not work. Their style is riddled with loopholes and flaws.
It was bad at the start. They were taken for granted and now we are left with the mess we have today. They need to be shut down, and restarted fresh, or perhaps closed down for good.
Sounds alot like Stealth on a corporate scale donit??
There are good alternatives out there, if only people would look.
