Is ProPay for you?

This is the week ProPay will be made available as a payment option on eBay. You will be able to find them at www.ProPay.com/ebay 

Surprisingly, they are not going to charge those high Annual Fees, instead it will be $24.00 for Silver – Platinum PowerSellers. Bronze and Non Power Sellers will have to pay the original fees. It will change to $24.00 in 2009.

DSR’s will affect you. If you have a low 4.3 DSR on any category they can prevent you from signing up or even accepting payments. It will be critical that you maintain your account in good standing.

ProPay does charge an Annual Member Fee, the Interest is higher and monthly limitations are placed. For high volume Sellers this option is not recommend. You may want to keep all your options open; its always a good idea to establish yourself with various online payment services.

Get your own Merchant Account. Its not as difficult as you might think. You will stand a better chance at a lower rate and would not have such low selling limits.

Some Merchant Services may place restrictions on your account based on your credit history.

Such restrictions may be:

1) Holding a percentage from each Sale for a set amount of time

2) Additional Guarantor

The majority of the Merchant Services will also require a personal guaranty. If you must sign one make sure to your consult your Business Attorney.

I will also open an account with this site for the new eBay sellers account I plan to open. This should be interesting.
