I would be good if they offered this to the UK!

looking at their application form, it apprears its for US residents!

I sent an email asking if they accept international sellers. I also think it is an American only company, but I will wait for an answer from them.

[greenbrett55]

I received a reply stating that they can only accept US customers. However, they said I qualify for their "international special offer". The webpage they gave me leads to ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** I have heard about this company and have actually used it when I bought an item from ebay. Seems ok, but there is a $49 sign up fee.

With all the new changes and the retarded 21 day BS that paypal is pulling on sellers Everyone should switch to A Merchant account. You will save a ton of money in the long run and will NEVER and I MEAN NEVER worry about your money being HELD AGAINST YOUR WILL..

This is for Jimmy of Salehoo... Jimmy, do you need an eBay store to use ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** service? Thanks so much!

[fashionwholesalers]

You can try Google Checkout or Moneybookers....



** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members**

Is Google Checkout or Moneybookers the same as Paypal where they can control your money? And I thought ebay doesn't allow Google Checkout to be use as a form of payment through their site?

No but you will need to supply a website address if you intend to use American Express services. I actually have a www address that leads directly to my ebay store. It was enough to qualify for american express and only cost me 10 bucks to get.

Ebay will not allow google checkout to be used. However the shopping cart that merchantinc uses you can add a paypal address and a google checkout link in all of your payment forms. Ebay cannot stop you from offering this as a payment method in your own merchant account. They can only control thier own site not your merchant services.

Thanks Jimmy for the reply! =) So American Express is the only service that needs a web address right? and the others like visa, mastercard and discover doesn't need one right? One salehoo member cancelled her account with merchantinc because she said it's to complicated. What's your thought on this jimmy? Is it really hard to set it up? I am really looking forward to using their service as paypal is worrying me about the recent policy changes. Thanks in advance! =)

Basically I would say if you had to cancell your account because its too complicated then you probably dont belong in online sales or even a business of your own. Every retailer From Wal Mart down to piggly wiggly has a merchant account with first data. If you have any problems then you should read. These sites have clear info listed on thier emails and thier links to thier own setup guides. It took me 24 hours to get completely setup. If you have any trouble then you need to call them. And ask for help.

Yes it will take a few hours of your precious time to set this up. But I think a few hours of my time is better then letting a MIDDLE MAN (Paypal) Make it easier on me and at the same time making my wallet alot lighter.

Most dont seem to realize that paypal uses the exact same company to do all of your transactions. They get a 1.5 % rate then charge you as much as 3.4% and an additional 35 cents per transaction. If you do alot of transactions like I do then you will know that that will add up to thousands of dollars within a month or two.

Take the time. Read the info and if you dont know then call and ask. They will help you. A few hours to save thousands of dollars each year is worth it.

I agree LOL! Thanks for the info =) I am really looking forward to signing up with them because I don't want paypal to have control over my funds. I am a gold powerseller and with the recent policy changes that ebay and paypal announced, I rather switch to a more reliable and secure payment than wait for that moment where paypal freezes your account for some stupid reason. Saves a lot of headaches this way =) Thanks again jimmy!

Jimmy,

How do you set up your ebay account to accept credit cards?
and stop taking paypal....With all that things that ebay & paypal are doing...Anybody on ebay is going to be in trouble. Their is talk about
a boycott not to buy or post anything for a week from the 18th to the 25th,because ebay & paypal are changing the rules

But more important is the question about the setup...How?

Thanks In advance
John (aka bacpro)
