Hello,
I would like to have Visa/Mastercard payment option show in the top part of my eBay listings, along with Money Order, etc., as well as down at the bottom of the page.
How do I do this? I've tried and tried through Global and eBay preferences but can't do this unless I state how I process... Well, I don't process credit cards - I accept them through PayPal.
Any clues? So far I've had to edit each new listing to check the Visa/Mastercard box.
Would be way simpler if I could just do this through my preferences.

And I DON'T want the Visa/Mastercard logo to show up in my ads, because buyers click it, not knowing it generates a "Send Billpoint Invoice" automatically to me!

Hi Ohmslucy and Belalug3,
I'm not sure of the terms of the PayPal Mastercard so I wouldn't be able to tell you what is in compliance. It is my understanding that the only way to get the visa/mastercard logos at the top of your auction listings is to sign up for ebay's billpoint.

Hi Lucy,
I see what you are referring to, I thought you meant the logos. In Global Preferences of your My Account tab, there is a box you can check for Visa/Mastercard. This will apply to your listings. I hope this helps!

Well, here we go again...
THERE'S NO PLACE IN GLOBAL PREFERENCES TO ADD VISA/MASTERCARD WITHOUT CHECKING OFF CREDIT CARD PROCESSING METHODS. IT IS TRUE THERE IS A BOX THERE BUT IT REQUIRES A CREDIT CARD PROCESSING METHOD.
Sorry for shouting but must admit I'm becoming a teeny bit annoyed having to repeat myself.
Please take a look at my first post...
Please, is there someone at AW who can answer my question? Either there IS a way to add Visa/Mastercard to Payment options without a credit card processing method or there ISN'T.

Hi Lucy,
Unfortunately, you have to check off the offline credit card processing method in Global Preferences in order to use it. I apologize for misunderstanding your post.

Hi Lucy,
The only way to get the Visa/Mastercard line to appear is to check it off in Global Preferences, and then choose a Credit Card Processing method underneath it (there are two there -- Verisign and Direct Credit Card processing). When you are creating a listing, in the payment options list, the "Direct CC Offline Processing" option will be checked and your payment choice of Visa/Mastercard will be shown. When the auction goes live the text will be there.
I apologize once again in case I have confused you. The only workaround would be to check off the Direct Credit Card payment option, and in the text box provided, type in any instructions you have for a winner who chooses this method.

Hi Sonya,
Just wanted to let you know IT WORKED!!!
My eBay listings now show Visa/Mastercard up top in the payment options. Not only that, there's no notation that I revised the listing before first bid. Not that that is a big deal but it's still nice.
You've saved me a whole bunch of time and I do appreciate it.
