Hi - is anyone using this instead of Paypal? If so, how do you like it? Are there fees to the merchant - can't find the answer to this or the fees for the buyer. Appreciate your help!

Okay - thanks! I appreciate your reply.
Hi Barbara,
I use authorize.net with my own merchant account for over a year and it has proven less expensive than using third party processors like PP. It depends on how much volume you process monthly. If you want more info, reply back. There are some extremely huge advantages to using authorize.net!!!

Hey, I like the sound of that. We have been posting stamps for around a month on eBay now - sold around 100 lots and the fees are mounting up in Paypal. Next month we are aiming for double that .... and so on. So what value do you need to process to make it viable?quote:Originally posted by Birdie:

Barbara, I would be interested in getting more information about the advantages of using Authorize.net. Any information that you could give me would be appreciated very much. Thanks, Glenn

It's a merchant account, so whatever your merchant account charges you. Generally merchant accounts are $20 a month + 1.9%->3% + 30 cents a transaction. So basically about the same as paypal but a monthly fee in addition. And fees for chargebacks too.
If you're looking for cheaper fees than PayPal a merchant account probably isnt a solution.
Perhaps someone with a merchant account can speak more to the benefits of using it either along side or instead of Paypal.
HEllo, Dear, Can you tell me more about your merchant account? I am very interested. Thank you!
