Can stripe be added as a payment option please
Stripe isn't integrated but you can offer it and send you customers and invoice
I have added this to each invoice by including it in my defaults
"Please ask for a Stripe invoice if you prefer to pay with a debit or credit card"
Hi, i wonder if ebid have any plans to integrate Stripe as a payment method.
Thanks All. I would also like to see Stripe Integrated on Ebid
So would I, I'm still unable to sign-in to PP although they're still happy to take money from sales. If this is going to go on indefinitely I'd like to be able to offer another integrated checkout. Can't imagine I'm going to get many sales without PP and cheques or bank transfer as only alternative.
I bought something from a seller here today using paypal and was allowed to log in as usual. About half an hour later I got an email from Paypal saying I could try the instant checkout, only when I went to the paypal site they stopped me from logging in again as they wanted to send a text message to a mobile phone I don't have.
I have now unsubscribed from their emails too since they don't really apply to me now
I'm down to bank transfers here now as I can't get to a bank to deposit cheques
I made three sales here yesterday (a returning buyer). Without thinking, I clicked the PP transaction reference and only had to log-in with 1 verification, no trouble. I'd been expecting a message from the buyer asking why they couldn't pay, so evidently they didn't get the "Seller Cannot Receive Payment At This Time" message (or something similar). Or perhaps they'll spring that one next time.
It's weird. I can buy things using my Paypal account and use my log in details, then when my log in times out and Paypal asks me to log in (like if I want to check my account) I have to use the verification thing which doesn't work for me.
I can't log in to transfer funds from Paypal to my bank account so if anyone pays me I can't use the funds except to buy stuff with the Paypal balance
Last week (before the sales) I bought something here and again expected trouble, but like you no problem and one level log-in. Could be that we would be logged into a site which pays (?) for integrated checkout?
So it seems I can't log-in to the PP site direct (always two levels) to check balance or transfer funds etc. but can when buying or selling using their checkout (so far only one level).
As an extra bit of arm twisting they had tried sending me an email (WHY can't they do the same for level 2 codes???) to tell me I had messages un-opened on the PP site so while there checking the money was safely in my account (from the sales) I opened the messages (All ads. for PP services).
Worth remembering for the future perhaps. Any time I buy or sell something, do transfers, especially OUT to linked bank account.
I'm more convinced than ever that all these "problems" with PSD2 and log-in are because PP wants to be a mobile access only for private accounts. Having a nose through their help pages, everything has cartoons of using a mobile to do everything, paying, transferring, keeping up-to-date.
My current issue is that it is only on eBid that I get prompted to pay invoices which allow me to pay using PayPal instant checkout.
Other sites I use have either their own managed payments or multiple integrated ways of paying.
I'm going to have to continue accepting only bank transfers here and offering Stripe. Since Paypal started messing me about I am not happy paying fees to them when their system isn't fit for purpose for my business
"....multiple integrated ways of paying."
Perhaps @ebid management should seriously consider adding Stripe (and others?) to the integrated checkout here? As I've been locked out of PP for over a week I started another thread on their boards. One of their volunteer advisors advised a (to me) convoluted way to add an App. to my lap-top which might enable the "Ring My Landline" option to work. To me it sounds like Hogwash, PP is creating a problem to get everyone to use mobiles for some benefit to themselves.
The advisor also (because of my previous posts history?) added a link to a post by a PP Moderator giving the PP "official" line -- without a mobile you might have problems accessing your account. Not any help to me but that post was dated February 2020 and they've made no progress towards a solution since then.
Go to any of the forum sections - Basics - Payments - Account and others and there are pages of threads with the same complaints, Can't Log In - Locked Out - No Mobile - No Signal - Old Number But Can't Change It, etc. etc. etc. The number of people UN-able to use PP must be increasing daily. With PP apparently "un-able" to solve this "problem" and becoming un-usable for so many, isn't that in itself a good enough reason for ebid to start looking at more reliable alternatives?
We haven't even got to the September deadline for PSD2 / SCA to become a regular compulsory feature of internet buying and selling yet. Will the problem become worse when we do? Ebid and its sellers might begin to notice declining sales if they are too reliant on PP. Conversely, offering alternatives that are set up properly to implement SCA without causing any problems to their users might find a new popularity.
Wow! The first bit of advice I found on the PP forum about my current issue was
"What can I do if I've changed my mobile number and can't log in?"
The advice was to "Go to 'settings" then switch off '2 step verification'.
Neither bits of advice can be followed with the 2 step verification switched on when I am locked out due to having an old mobile listed lol
I'm totally sick of trying to get any sense out of PP.. A volunteer advisor said they get no more info. than anyone else, only use their experience on the site to try to clarify PP's more mysterious announcements or tell people where to find instructions. So there's little they can say, other than the PP line of "Buy a mobile".
CS (somewhere overseas) when I could get through the accent, twice told me there was no other solution apart from getting a mobile. Then the third person told me I could download an App. to my laptop. I followed this up on the boards and an advisor told me it could be done if I followed a complicated set of instructions. I then realised that I could only follow the instructions once signed-in. :(
I wonder if companies like ebid have contacted PP? If they are paying PP for their checkout "Service" perhaps they might be treated a little better than individual account holders that PP find it very easy to ignore.
My next step will be to the FCA to complain.
Hi,I see the problem maybe with paypal initial requests when anybody first registers of requiring two email addresses for ones account. And for some reason two phone numbers? If you can manage to log in for payment for an item, try clicking on help which will give you a drop down menu at the bottom is "How to add or edit or remove a phone number' Click on How to add. And it should direct you to your summary of account details where it should allow you edit change or remove old numbers. P.S. is there a reason why the use of acronyms PP is used on the forums. Or am I about to be banished (shocked face smiley thingy)
Thanks for your reply. My issue with Paypal is that I cannot log in to change my mobile number as they send a code to my old number as part of a 2 step authentication I cancelled a while back they they have reinstated without my say so. The item I bought recently was the one I bought from you and there was no option there to check my account as once I paid you Paypal automatically logged me out and I couldn't log back in.
I don't want to find a workaround to use an unreliable payment system that could play up again at any time in a random way.
Your second point about rules on abbreviations like 'PP' and so on. I am happy to mention other places on here as it means this forum shows up when people Google terms that are included in our posts here. This has the effect of enabling people to find eBid by accident which I don't see as a bad thing
Hah I see, what a pain. Sounds like a Catch 22 situation. Never had any problems, and as far as I can remember have never had to do the two step verification. Mind you I have the memory of a stunned slug.
Well just double checked when I go to paypal site, brings up my email with password sign in, when I sign in the 'Get the Paypal App' banner appears. I just have always ticked the Not now button below. So far still do not need two step verification.
I just checked again and was taken to the sign in with my usual password. I the signed in and got this message on the screen
Authentication requiredAs part of the PSD2 Strong Customer Authentication regulation, we need additional information to confirm it's really you.
I then get 2 options, a text to my old mobile phone or a call to my old mobile phone
Until a week or two ago I was doing exactly the same. Even on the rare occasions that the Two Step Verification page came up I could get around it either by hitting "Back" a couple of times or just not logging-in, leaving PP's site for a few minutes. Not any more, the second verification page opens every time I try to log into PP directly. Although there is a "Try Another Method" button and a code is sent my land-line never rings to complete the verification.
They will get around to you eventually and you will then have this problem. I've been following this saga here on the obay and on the PP boards for over a year and have found that PP's arm-twisting started well before that.
Have a read of my previous replies here and on the "Paypal Updates" thread. If you want the whole story have a look at the PP boards.
I have tried to access my Nochex account but they didn't send an email to confirm anything. I couldn't see any way of sending invoices either.
It looks like it's Stripe and bank transfers for me now. I already use Stripe on one of the craft sites that has it integrated
Sorry about the abrupt end to my previous reply, had a PO engineer here about my "Connectivity Issues".
"Authentication Required".....
I get the same thing but months ago I got a screen with "No Mobile?" and an option to use my land-line instead. Now my Authentication screen says something like "Send Text Message" or "Ring Me". Trouble is, the phone never rings, so I can never complete the log-in. PSD2 / SCA isn't due to become mandatory until September '21, so why is PP not sorting out these problems instead of introducing it now (or two years ago) with a system that has never worked? To me, that almost every other bank has started early but with systems that do work and can (often) offer, not just 1 but several alternatives, shows that PP has an agenda by doing this.
I think it already is the norm. The FCA date in September is the date when it becomes mandatory for financial companies to have a system up and running, the dead-line was extended because of Covid and staffing problems during lock down. It seems that only PP has some apparently insurmountable problem doing that. I vaguely remember my bank asking me which of several methods of verification I would prefer to use.
In my view PP is also using it, against the FCA Guidelines, to pressure account holders into using a mobile (only) to access its services is the reason so many are having problems accessing their account.
Could someone tell me a little more about Stripe, please? The website looks intimidating but I have been asked several times for an alternative to Paypal and am unwilling to go for direct bank transfers after a bad experience a few years ago.
Did anyone see the site update notification thread : Post #500
"UPDATE - eBid US and eBid Canada credit/debit card facilities for subscriptions and fee invoice payments are currently down while we integrate our new card processor Stripe. Please use PayPal options for now"
Ohhhhhhhh!
Does this mean we are getting a second payment option : STRIPE :D :D :D
Right seeing Gazza say they are integrating Stripe on eBid I've just opened an account but I'm confused as usual, doesn't take much ! https://www.animated-smileys.com/emo...lg0n6eS0Ah.gif
Can someone tell me who has already used Stripe how do you get payments transferred to your bank ? With Paypal you use the transfer button but can't see any sign of one on Stripe so do they automatically send the payment straight to your bank account ?
Just editing to say I've found the information https://stripe.com/docs/payouts#payout-schedule
We seriously need other payment options Apple, Google Pay etc and I know its harder to get it sorted in the USA etc but I was hoping they would get the UK sellers sorted out fast before Q4 (no offence to other countries) but its too late now and I'm finding it hard to stay motivated here and feel the UK nature of the site is going away
Thank you Gazza, Mark, and eBid Team for integrating Stripe for USA and Canada. Hope to see the integration be adopted quickly for UK and other eBid International sites. Link below contains call for other integrated payment methods, and more specifically Stripe and Square a couple of months ago.

This is certainly looking promising, thanks to The Management for at least listening and doing something about an alternative to PP integrated check-out.
Before I get too carried away with enthusiasm though, can anyone with knowledge of Stripe re-assure me that it will work with lap-top and land-line. I hope this isn't another Mobile App. only set-up.
Fingers (and everything else)crossed.
I only us a pc or laptop and it's worked for me
My reasoning was that if integration of Stripe into eBid US and eBid Canada meant that payment facilities were affected, the same would apply when/if it was integrated into other eBid sites. As there had been no notification that this had happened or would happen I was assuming that Stripe had only been integrated into US and Canada. Hence my enquiry about other eBid sites. I was not "laying into eBid".
