OT: For sellers using PayPal that sell on a web site

Hi All,

I just wanted to be sure that the United States sellers selling on their web sites knew that their buyers do not have to sign up for an account now. A change was made to the product last week for transactions that are done off of eBay.

Note: Buyers on eBay would still have to sign up for an account.
 
Hi The_good_guy,

Probably not quite as clear as I would have liked my sentence to be...

If you are a merchant using PayPal for sales off of eBay (your web site), your buyers do not have to sign up for a PayPal account to send you a payment.

Note: This applies to U.S. sellers only.
 
Paypal is basically acting like a credit card processor where you can just pay via your CC instead of having to sign up for a Paypal account and then send the funds using your CC. Right?
 
Hi Nocturnal,


It would be very similar.

The email below is what went out to many merchants.


PayPal has optimized the checkout experience by launching an exciting new improvement to its payment flow. These changes apply to the following Website Payments features: Buy Now Buttons, Donations, and PayPal Shopping Cart.

With our new checkout, making a transaction is easier than ever. Your buyer can complete a payment first, and then have the option of saving their information for future transactions. Once customers have decided to make a purchase, they are walked through four easy steps:
Shipping information


Billing information


Review of payment information


Save customer information with PayPal (optional) ? To shop more quickly and easily in the future, customers can save their personal information they?ve already entered with PayPal. All they need to do is choose a confidential password and answer a few security questions.


To toggle off this new feature, simply log in, go to Profile subtab, click on Website Payment Preferences in the Selling Preferences column, and check the yes/no box under PayPal Account Optional.
