Question
Ebay Sellers: Which merchant account do you use? Best answer 10pts today!?
I have had beyond a frustrating relationship with paypal. I no longer want to use them. I saw that I can still sell on ebay if I use an online merchant account, however, you have to have a credit card through that particular merchant processing service. I would like to continue selling on ebay as soon as possible. I have contacted Merchant one...they are taking forever, I even tried Moneybookers, but they want to send an address verification in the mail, etc. Anyone know a good online merchant processing provider, I can use to sell on ebay that is approved by ebay, and I can start selling within 3 to 5 days. Please help...Best answer 10pts today!!!

Since E-Bay owns PayPal, it is my understanding that you have no choice but to use PayPal. I saw a new site on the news the other night called www.buysellswapstuff.com. They give free 90 day listings and are much cheaper than E-bay. Using the code: free11alive in plan type gives 1 year free listings. I will try them the next time I have something to sell . I resent being forced to use PayPal.

a merchants acct will require you to open a business checking acct (with monthly fees) (which means you have to register your business in your town (more fees and taxes) and probably get a state sales tax license) and then the monthly min charge just for the merchants acct will be at least $80 a month even if you have no sales and you'll have to sign a long term lease for the software
