Paymate

Posters on these boards generally don't like Paymate, but i have used it as a seller and my customers were perfectly happy about it. I also had multiple bidders on auctions I used it for, so it didnt really turn anybody off.


 


What I would sayis that I don't use it for this account, being my business account, and I think if you are selling high priced items with low feedback it may make some people suspicious. Although, if your items are desirable enough, and phones probably are, they will sell anyway.


 


If you decide to use paymate, i would recommend making note of it in the listing so its not a surprise to your buyers. Something along the line of "I accept credit cards via Paymate" and maybe something explaining people don't need to sign up to an account to use it.

ACCC is not the place to complain about paypal....go to the Financial Services Ombudsman as previously recommended.


Also, don't rush into opening a new ebay account.  It may well be that your ebay and paypal accounts will be unfrozen as soon as you contact the Ombudsman.

the best thing about paymate is when you get a buyer who demands paypal-you very quickly know who is a scammer who knows the system and is intent on scamming you through paypal.  I make apoint of banning people who demand paypal, or even ask for it.  If someone wants something they will use paymate to get it, the ones who hit the back button when they see paymate are the sort of people you don't want to deal with anyway as they will make life difficult for you.  What scammer is going to pay $50 to try and scam through paymate when they can do it for free through paypal-that's why they demand it

Do you have selling limitations as well, due to the PayPal situation? If so, that's not a recommended course of action - using a different account to get around limitations from eBay is a breach of policy and could see all your accounts permanently deregistered.





If someone wants something they will use paymate to get it, the ones who hit the back button when they see paymate are the sort of people you don't want to deal with anyway as they will make life difficult for you.  What scammer is going to pay $50 to try and scam through paymate when they can do it for free through paypal-that's why they demand it



Some people will hit the back button when they see Paymate because they don't have (or don't use) credit/debit cards - that doesn't make them a scammer. Secondly, I don't see why someone would pay $50 to go through Paymate's buyer protection when the protection they get on the credit card itself is free and wouldn't be limited to a certain amount/number of claims per year.

Did you ring Paypal again BEFORE you lodged the complaint as was suggested re speaking with a supervisor?I did & when they still refused to concede 'defeat' THEN I lodged the complaint.

Not this someone...I would simply hit the back button and find someone who did take paypal....I also very much resent being labelled a scammer because I will not use paymate.
