Just received another email from paypal after you promised in your website announcement that you had resolved the problem. According to paypal and their latest email to me, they will no longer include the paypal logo in my listings after October 31.
Following is a direct quote from paypal:
"because our system indicates that, although you have ALI turned on, you do not select PayPal as a payment option through your Auction Management Software, Service or eBay listing tools ..."
I checked my Vendio preferences, and paypal has always been turned on!!
Sounds like you need to get with paypal again. Please fix this before I am forced to list with another auction provider that can put the paypal logo's in like they should.

Hi billringer,
I apologize for any confusion PayPal's message caused. Rest assured we are able to provide PayPal messaging in your listings in as many or more ways than any other provider (which unfortunately causes some of the confusion).
This e-mail was sent to a select group of sellers only, so lurkers who didn't receive a message should not be concerned in any way.
If you want a button for PayPal in your listings after October 31, you have two options.
1. You can insert the manual "Smart Logo" from PayPal in your repetitive text, which will behave exactly like the ALI used to after Oct 31 (see the longer thread on this issue for more details)
2. You can change your Vendio PayPal preference to "Include the PayPal Checkout button and logo in my listing." The second option will not give you the ALI logo-like appearance in your listings, but it will place the gray "PayNow" button on your closed listings at the top.
The choice is up to you as always. Also, we will be enhancing our integration with PayPal next week, and I look forward to sharing these benefits with you then as well.
