I use Auctiva to list to Ebay and one of the options for payment is Merchant Credit Cards, which means you take credit cards directly. With this option, you can DECLARE you take credit cards directly but what I found out tonight, when I tried to list something, is I have to fax in proof I have a Merchants Credit Card Account. I just set it up and what they want me to fax in, I don't have yet, so I have to get my provider to send it to me but it's a weekend and they aren't in so I have to wait till Monday to get that from them, then I'll fax it in and "wait" for approval.
While all of this has been a pain in you know where, once I finish jumping through all the hoops, I won't have to dance to their tune any longer and it's well worth it so I will wait patiently until Monday, get my little piece of paper they want, fax it into them, then wait for approval and then I will start selling like crazy and PayPal will no longer get any of my money.
And, as far as I'm concerned, I don't care if I save any money, PayPal has pee'd me off so bad, I don't ever want to deal with them as a seller and I know I'm not alone, hence, the reason I made this post.
So, there is a way to sell on Ebay and not take PayPal.

Ps: One of the things we talk about on the Coin Fraud Group is how easy it is to get protection from your credit card provider, compared to PayPal, so my option gives better protection to the buyer, compared to using PayPal.
