I just started using Auctiva for listing items, but I noticed something weird when I was writing a listing... I can't choose "Other / Read Item Description."

Now, I normally accept Paypal or Bidpay. I'm not asking you to add BidPay support specifically, of course! I'm merely asking you to add an "Other / Read Item" option so my buyers know that there's another choice if they don't, or can't, use Paypal. This is valid, some sellers may accept other payment methods, you know.

Thanks for reading. Hope this gets fixed, or at least addressed, soon. Smile

Don't know why the other options are not really available. It might be to streamline the process, but it does become problematic to some.
You can use Seller Details to put payment instructions or put something in the Payment Instructions box. I realize it isn't exactly what you are looking for, but Auctiva doesn't use what you need in your case for whatever their reasons are.
All the best!
"Other" allows buyers to pay via a method that is not automated by eBay. For example, if you want to pay via PayPal, you get a special checkout page. If you want to pay via Money Order or Check, you get another checkout page which you are advised to print out and send along with the payment.

This option is useful when the buyer cannot (or will not) accept one payment method or the other. For example, my auctions are set up so only Paypal and Other are accepted payment methods. It allows people without a Paypal account to bid, but also prevents people from trying to pay with a money order.

Oh, using BidPay was forbidden for a while, but then eBay decided it was fine. Then the service was shut down, and then was bought out by another company and reopened. So, uh, there.
