I am lost as to why anyone would leave thousands in a paypal acct.
for any length of time. I would transfer the money out every few days to an interest bearing checking acct with debit function. That way your money is away from paypal and drawing interest. You can then purchase with debit card on that acct. If your purchases and suppliers only take paypal, You are dealing with suspect sites anyway. Real suppliers use real live merchant accounts. Which take most forms of credit cards and debit cards. If you are saying you dont have a credit card or checking acct. What are you doing in business trying to compete in the real business world?????

Actually most leave their money in the paypal accounts because paypal money market has a higher interest level then a normal bank.

But apparently paypal is not very safe.

What about Canadians. What other services are available for them?

I have had my two accounts locked up by paypal even after fulfiling all that they have requested. This is purely stealing.

I am having problems, where I had just been scammed by A CHINESE seller outside of ebay, I did call before i did the transaction, they said that the transaction was fully covered. So I went for it, and now I do not know what to do, paypal will not help me. Would consulting my bank do anything? Or should i contact the police directly.

I followed the link to bidpay but it redirected me to 'Authorize.net' saying that in DEC. '07 Bidpay discontinued services. Do you know anything about this Authorize.net'? I have had a paypal acct for quite a while but now after reading all these posts I'm getting worried. I don't have much money but I want to keep what I do have.

Thank you

I just checked into ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** and they want a total of near $80/mo in assorted fees. What's that all about?

Does anyone know anything about Authorize.net that has replaced Bidpay? Or is there an dependable equivalent to PayPal? I would sure appreciate any advice. Thank you

I only use PayPal for very small transactions or to send a payment to a business or person who I trust. I have been receiving credit card payments using ProPay.com for a few years now and it has worked perfectly for me since day one. I also use Google Checkout which works just fine. I used to use BidPay with no issues untill they folded. PayPal has ripped me off a few years ago for around $5k and I will never use them again for anything over $100. All the money PayPal froze I ended up returning to the buyers and PayPal took more out from my checking account to even the balance, so now I had NSF with the bank to deal with.

I got signed up through the company Jimmy recommended, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to get it all linked up with my ebay account. I'm not finding where ebay will allow me to add a merchant account to my listings as an option for the buyer to use. Can anyone help me out?

Someone here has to know, but if they don't respond quickly I would hit the ebay forum for the answer.

If you have your securenetshop shopping cart setup you actually have to click the settings tab, then ebay checkout.

You actually have to use the shopping cart and create within your listings a link for your buyers to pay. Please look at my auction listings so you can see how I have placed these links within my auction.

Notice I have
credit card logos
Links
And detailed instructions how to pay on the shopping cart.

Its a little confusing to start but once you get it setup and you make sure you have the info in your auctions. You will have no problems. I just tell my buyer to click the buynow tab in my description and enter their ebay email address to pay. But I only have to do that for 1 out of every 20-30 auctions.
