Do any ebay sellers use Costco's Elavon Merchant Credit Card Processing service?

Question

I am interested in setting up this service for my auctions because it is cheaper than Paypal (although I'll probably still offer Paypal as well) and I can sell stuff under the mature audience section, which PayPal does not allow.

Has anyone used this service for their ebay auctions?

Answer 1

Yes, many sellers use a Merchant Accounts to accept payments.  I specifically know a couple that use Costco's Elavon.  You can have eBay customers directed to your own checkout system where you can accept credit card payments (along with your other payment options).  In order to do this, you will need to go through a third party auction listing company (such as Auctiva).

I use Simple Payment Systems. The software is free, and the discount rate is cheaper then PayPal, no annual fees either. Oh yeah and they train you free too.Shop around before you make a choice.
