I recently switched over to Paypal's shopping cart system, because the previous company I used: Authorized.net basically had the worse tech support, increased their prices several times.. I got fed up.. and since Ebay ownes Paypal.. I think it was a good move.

(now)
Since moving over slowly to paypal... I had both shopping cart systems - authorize.net and paypals. This past month I moved completely over to paypal.

I have Paypal graphics - that are graphics that paypal offers.. it says "PAYPAL add to cart." on them.. which when clicked brings up the paypal shopping cart system ofcourse.

Should I just have simple "add to cart" graphics.. and let my customers figure out they are paying via paypal at check out?

Since Paypal accepts all major credit cards. I dont think it would be such a bad idea. While there still might be people out there visiting my website who dont like paypal.. and would just split the moment they see my "paypal verified" graphics.

What do you guys/gals think?

If they are going to bail on seeing a paypal add to cart, they will not only bail when they get to the cart and see it is pay pal they will be pissed at the precived deception.

I promote the use of pay pal on my site, it is a buyer baised system. Branded by ebay's use, unlike an unknown gateway or shopping cart service.

Though don't get me started on why I wished I did not use it.

Place paypal icons on your site, unless your ashamed...

Truly you should switch to a true card processor, youll find your orders increase.
