Paydirect from Yahoo or other cheap way to accept cards

Has anyone some experience with paydirect

[zeus]

Im looking for a cheap way to sell products on the net and it should be possible to pay with VISA card. I looked at yahoo paydirect but there is not that much info on the site, but I think the name yahoo will also be good to get people to try buy online.

Anyone tried paydirect?

Wow, now that's a name I haven't heard in a while! I noticed the PayDirect fees [ [paydirect.yahoo.com...] ] are slightly better than Paypal. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to accept PayDirect in addition to Paypal.

PayDirect actually could cost you sales. The experience for new PayDirect users is pretty mediocre.

Ok interesting, I just thought buyers would be more villing to order if they did know that it was yahoo system.

I would think they'd trust a payment specialist more than a search portal.

Hello my name is Tim and I am a new member of this great site I specialize in liquidating products on eBay and liquidation.com I have sold over $100,000 in a 1 month period. I mainly specialize in computer end of life products(this was just to give a little background on me)I am trying to absorb all the se info.

I use paypal.com for about 90 percent of my ebay sales or I should ad my customers do, I due a tremendous amount of business outside of eBay by direct customer requests,
paypal allows your customers to use almost all credit and debit cards eBay purchased them this spring> I have only had 2 dispute or chargebacks in over 1 year and I do alot of volume. If you only ship to US customers and thier confirmed address if you zero risk they also have a free shopping cart and web tools I have just started to use outside of eBay. For International sales I only accept bank wire transfer or www.bidpay.com they are a division of western union

paypal is free to set up and they take a small percentage of the incoming payment

zeus, why not paypal?

That question is for everyone, actually: why NOT paypal?

[zeus]

HughMungus, Well I have allways seen paypal as not so PRO. ecommerce, but I have never used it, so thats why I havent given any comments on paypal, but maybe Im wrong here.

The disadvantage of PayPal is that they require all consumers to be members. The only way to become a member is to make a 1 dollar payment and then get a confirmation number on the next banking or CC statement. If someone does not want to wait for the next statement, or forgets where the website is during that time, then the merchant loses the sale.

With a third party biller, customers can just go ahead and make the purchase.
