Buying & Selling Thru Ebay & Other Auctions/eBay Third Party Checkout

Question
Hi

A quick question. For my ebay store I am looking for a third party checkout. Can you recommend one.

Thanks

Answer
Your store will not last long if you use a third party checkout.  This is because Ebay prefers you to use Paypal.  Paypal works flawlessly with Ebay and USPS shipping.  

Yes, I know there are others who use a third party, and you're welcome to look for one, but keep in mind that ebay frowns on using any payment source other than Paypal.  (Ebay owns paypal.)

Lastly, though I do not know of any third party check outs that I could recommend, if I did, I would not, only to not use this space for advertising for anyone.  

I hope this helps.

Expertise

I`ve been involved with Ebay practically since it`s inception. I`ve spent a lot of free time in helping people find the answer to problems as well as selling techniquest on the Ebay system. I`m more than comfortable with the Ebay system, it`s rules and policies and the why`s and wherefores of it`s day to day operation and the operations of both a seller and buyer.

Experience

Been a consistent seller on Ebay since 1997 and have been regarded as a 'source' for information on Ebay itself.
(Under Expertiese, it should be techniques, not techniquest...sorry bout that....)
