Thread: How to link Paypal properly to Ebid

  1. #1

    Default How to link Paypal properly to Ebid

    On my business listings when someone tries to buy something with paypal it adds £5 for shipping even though the items I have listed are with postage included or free shipping. I also have a web site with paypal buttons set to add £5 to orders upto £100. It seems when someone tries to order through ebid when it gets to the paypal checkout stage ebid is linking to paypal as if the ebid order is the same as a paypal payment button.

    I have contacted ebid about this and I am currently waiting on a reply, but I thought I would post this in the meantime to see if anyone else can shed some light.

    I've read something about this but can't remember the solution.I do know it was something to do with your paypal settings on their site,rather than an ebid problem.I'll try & find the link.

    Thanks very much the information, the link describes the problem perfectly and also provides what may be a solution. I am going to follow the instructions in the link to see if I can sort it out. It is stranged that I don't have the same problem with that other auction site. The other problem I have is how do I test if its working correctly. I got in trouble with ebid last time for trying to buy one of my own products to test the system. If I hadn't I would not have know about this problem.
    Anyway I will come back in a bit to let you know if I can sort it.

    You have to remember that eBay and PayPal have an incestuous relationship. They treat each other differently than they treat outsiders.
