So basically its paypal with a slightly diffferent fee schedule and identical tos for those with USA bank accounts 🙂

Not quite. Now sellers pay, not buyers - and sellers have to jump through similar hoops to those set by Paypal for prroof of shipping.

BidPay
Transaction Fee
Domestic (United States) International* (Outside the US)
2.5% + $0.50/txn 2.9% + $0.50/txn Ann

and here is the new "seller protection" ....

Seller Protection. For each Payment, if a Card payment submitted by a Buyer is approved by BidPay and applicable funds are remitted by BidPay to Seller’s Bank Account, BidPay shall assume the Chargeback risk for such Payment subject to satisfaction of ALL of the following conditions:





1. the goods shipped are not subject to the “Restricted Transactions” terms set forth in Section 2.1.d. below;



2. Seller ships goods using an established courier or postal service that provides tracking and shipment confirmation services;



3. the goods are shipped within seven (7) business days or the timeframe stated in the auction listing, whichever occurs earlier, of Seller’s receipt of the applicable funds from BidPay;


4. the addressee information for the shipment is filled in correctly;



5. Seller obtains proof of delivery services for the shipment;



6. Seller provides BidPay with a complete and accurate copy of the proof of delivery for the Transaction in question within three (3) business day of BidPay’s request for such documentation;

Unfortunately, unless you have a U.S. based account, it doesn't look like you can offer the program.

That will work really well with CanPost tracking system.

Too bad there looking alot like PAYPAL. I guess I won't be using there services...

[recped]

Worthwhile if you have customers in countries not served by PayPal or are PayPal adverse (yes there are also buyers who don't like PayPal).

Otherwise...well I'm waiting to see what Gbuy offers supposedly on the 28th if that recent speculation is still being tossed about.

I also don't like Paypal but have not found different alternative for payment option. So I am stuck with them. I hope Gbuy will e better.

[belldandyrose]

[cartoonsinabox]

Yes that is true.

[recped]

Yes that is true.

Unless you have a US based bank account!
