One other point that wasn’t mentioned, when checkout says the bidder is using other forms of credit card transactions to pay, that means something other than eBay Online Payments/Billpoint. In other words, PayPal. Richard Ward
Response:
You’ll never get a bid from me if you only accept Paypal. I was rorally screwed by Paypal, and will never use them again. If you cant accept at least a common money order, then I will not bid on your stuff.
Umm who the hell asked you to bid on anything of mine? hehe

i think his point was that you are cutting off potential bidders by only taking paypal. robert

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – okay guys and gals here’s the question. I do not accept ebay bill pay system nor do I accept checks money orders or anything else. ALL I ACCEPT IS PAYPAL. Why do I then get spammed with all kinds of EBAY CHECKOUT emails that say this or that about a user beginning checkout but choosing other forms of credit card transactions to pay? What the heck is ebay check out and why is it needed? My pay pal account automatically sends invoices to them. Is there anyway I can stop ebay checkout? Thanx all You’ll never get a bid from me if you only accept Paypal. I was rorally screwed by Paypal, and will never use them again.

I thought the idea of Paypal was real scary at first (UK buyer buying from UK sellers with Paypal) but it makes good sense now. No piddling about waiting for cheQUEs to clear, no postal orders with the associated overcharge …. just gotta trust a bit. And … here’s the REALLY spooky bit … I’ve ever paid US sellers! Whooooooooo! Hands across the sea and all that.

I take paypal and am perfectly happy with it, but I also take billpoint, and checks, and money orders. The more forms of payment you’re willing to take, the more you restrict your bidder pool. I sell old glass and pottery, and lots of my customers aren’t incredibly comfortable using a credit card online. I don’t happen to agree with them, but I don’t have to agree with them to take their money, as long as I accept an alternate form of payment. When I’m selling, what I prefer isn’t really an issue, it’s what I’m willing to accept that governs who is willing to bid on my auctions. Richard Ward

Make that "The more forms of payment you’re willing to take, the less you restrict your bidder pool." Richard Ward (trying to figure a way to blame that one on spellcheck)

Response:
You DON’T need it. Just go to your "my ebay" page, click on the preferences tab up top, then click on "update seller checkout preferences." click on "No, do not display eBay’s Checkout button.". Finally, click "Submit" at the bottom. You will never get another one of those annoying emails. Mike http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/justapenny_gems/
