The Paypal policy changes is what worries me that's why I am looking forward to using Merchantinc.com.

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

You can remove paypal as a payment option altogether. In your settings remove the ebay checkout. When you sign up with firstdata they will link you to another company they run called securnetshop. They have a shopping cart.
The traditional shopping cart is free. But you can choose to pay extra for the advanced shopping cart with all the options. I prefer this because I can also put my own banners in the shopping cart and guide buyers to my Real Website If I choose. This is another way to bring your ebay buyers to your own website.

If you do high volume then they advanced shopping cart is the way to go.

Now in your listings you can choose to use thier link or create your own payment buttons. and just add the link on your own payment buttons.

Ill show you one of my selling accounts and you can see one of my layouts and how I push buyers into using my checkout.

This layout took alot of time to master. I went from having about 30 questions a day on how to make a credit card payment to about 1 a week. So its best you have this link in your auction several times. You can even link the payment gateway to any text you may have in your listing.

I have 1 payment button all 3 of my credit card logos can go to that link as well and I have text that will follow that link.

Also make sure you have your address listed there so they can send you checks. I take in close to 50 checks a week. This will curb the appetite of those that do not want to use a credit card but still want to purchase your items. I do like this very much because there is no processing fee for a check. Dont worry about harsh regulations on holding checks. I have taken in over 1000 check over the years and have never had a bad one.

I just completed my fourth transaction with merchantinc.com =) Transaction goes really smoothly and the best part is NO PAYPAL. It does take some time to set it but it is all worth it. I recommend their service. I no longer accept paypal on all my listings on ebay and I just finished setting it up yesterday and right away, I completed 4 transaction in the amount of $1000+. I really don't think it affects my sales without accepting paypal =)

Paymate.com is really good I start using them instead of Paypal.

Paypal are not telling the truth which is they keep saying buyers or sellers covered by 3000$ which is not in the reality.

I bought items worth 2500$ and received 900$ at the end but the one who helped me to get a full refund is my Visa credit card with my Bank, they refunded me my whole money from Paypal.

So, guys make sure when you buy anything using paypal use your credit card because paypal default method is they debit your bank account so you are not covered in this case while if u use your visa you can refund your money if something goes wrong.
