    Yes. Besides the bold red at the top and bottom of the listing, it also says it in the body, and again in the notice I send out. This used to happen all the time, which is why I added the bold red.

    Russ,

    I was just wondering. Do you accept Credit Cards Thru PayPal?

    what happens when someone uses/tries to use a CC if you don't have the account that will accept them?

    The bidder giving you some trouble over his blindness?

    Goose3,

    I just declined the payment and let the buyer know.

    Don't know yet if this one will be problematic, haven't heard back. In the past, none have been. I just explain the situation and they send either a correct paypal payment, or check/mo.



    << <i>I was just wondering. Do you accept Credit Cards Thru PayPal? >>



    FatMan,

    Because that would require upgrading to a premiere account. With Premiere accounts, Paypal charges a fee on every transaction, whether it be credit card or cash. Since I'm just selling extras and leftovers, I already lose money on the majority of my sales. I have no desire to lose even more.

    Edit: Hehe, I just realized that's not a real question.image

    Russ, if you don't accept credit cards thru PayPal, then you should have said so in the auction!

    Russ,
    I think you should take mitigating circumstances into consideration. The buyer may have had problems as a child that are now being expressed by an inability to comprehend auction terms. And just because you lose money on these coins is no reason to permanently scar the fragile psyche of the buyer. Have you cleared your response with DCAM?

    Just trying to get a little excitement going. image

    Dave,

    I can't quite put my finger on it, but something seems a bit wrong in your scenario.

    you get to take credit cards and you dont have to worry about the 3% charge...

    Maybe if you put it in your items headline they could see it better. Something like " 3 proof rls-NO CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS THROUGH PAYPAL"

    What is the Paypal fee if they use a bank account to pay?

    There is no fee if you have only a personal account. Thats the beauty of having only a personal account.

    If you accept any credit card payment PayPal automatically upgrades you to a business account and charges like 3% on all payments, credit cards and transfers.

    << <i>What is the Paypal fee if they use a bank account to pay? >>



    On a personal account, zero. On a premiere account, the same as it is for a credit card payment; something like 3% or so.

    I messed up. I just upgraded to take a refund from someone that used a CC. I thought it would still be free on bank account payments I received. I may just cancel my account and go back to the personel account. Live and learn. Thanks.

    Russ,
    Perhaps you could make the notice blink! And then add a background audio (In Russ' own voice!!) "I do not take credit cards through Paypal."

    Just curious: since you don't take credit cards, do you at least offer a cash discount?image

    Pete,

    You are brilliant! It shall be done.image

    AARRGGHHH! I just realized that the blink tag only works in Netscape and nobody uses that browser any more. Maybe I'll do scrolling.

    You could make one of those annoying things that follows your mouse around the screen that says you don't take credit cards. That would get peoples attention.
  • Options
    Russ,

    That looks better, but you should add one more in the middle so no matter where they scroll to they can't say they didn't see it.

    Honestly (no joking), I ignore scrolling text. It/s too annoying to read.

    The altered arrow does NOT show up using Netscape. It does for IE, but the arrow covers the "NO", so it reads "Credit Cards Thur PayPal".
