Hi,
I've had a look through the policies section and I'm aware you cannot offer discounts or charge extra to use a particular payment method. But can you offer any other sort of incentive to buyers, such as a free gift with purchase, or a postage upgrade if someone pays you using a particular method of payment? Or can you state in the auction that xxyy is my preferred method of payment, and let the buyer decide if they would like to pay that way or not?
The reason I ask is I've currently had a few unexpected expenses and need to access funds from any sales as quickly as possible. I'm not a professional seller, I only list a few unwanted items from time to time, but I know from past experience that if a buyer pays via bank deposit it only takes a couple of days at the most before the money is in my bank account, however with Paypal transactions I find it usually takes about a week to withdraw funds and have them available in my bank account.
Or is there another way to access Paypal funds sooner? Unfortunately most of the things I'm needing to cover (dentist and vet) don't accept Paypal, so using the funds directly from the source isn't an option.
