I don't know exactly what pro-pay is but you don't need to use paypal as long as you have a method for people to use electronic payments with credit cards. Some businesses have their own and that is fine. Pro-pay is likely one of the electronic methods.
ProPay is one of the options specifically authorized by eBay in their thinly veiled attempt to fend off anti-trust issues. Two problems with it. One, it is currently available only to Silver powersellers and above, and two it costs MORE than PayPal.
Actually Propay's fee for processing is about the same as paypal. There is a yearly fee but it allows you to take CC info over the phone and process cards - like paypal virtual terminal which costs $39.00 month for merchants - so it is cheaper than paypal in that regard.
Best of all - It's not owned by Ebay - Watch out for propay - it will be eating Ebay's lunch in a few years.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Propay is 3.25% plus 35c, plus an annual fee. PayPal for a silver powerseller is 2.5% plus 30c, with no annual fee. They aren't even close.
