So I get this bidder with very poor feedback, and he wants to use ExchangePath... I look at it, sign up, and say "Okay, go ahead and use ExchangePath."
Then he says, "Actually, I'd rather use C2it.com." I look at that site, and DO NOT sign up because I don't want to give them my social security number.
I write back to him saying, "No on the C2it.com... If you can't use ExchangePath like you said you would, and you can't use PayPal or Billpoint, then the only thing I can tell you is to use BidPay.com."
He writes back saying, "Okay, will use BidPay.com. How do I connect to that site?"
Duh. Double duh.
Am I gonna get paid? I don't think so.

you dont really have to go to bid pay to get your money they will contact you after your buyer pays for his money order and gives them your mailing address.
Then they will send you a second email confirming the buyers address if this address dont match the one the buyer has already gave you dont send The Item contact the buyer find out why two different shipping addresses.
If everything in the two emails you get all match they have your right address to send you the money order and the shipping address they have on your buyer matches the shipping address they gave you it will be safe to ship out the item you will get a money order within 5 to 7 day from bidpay.
If you want to go sign up and read about bidpay all the same www.bidpay.com will take you there.

I'm already signed up with BidPay and have had several overseas bidders use it.
My point was that this guy read my Auction Terms, which stated that I accept payment via Check, Money Order, PayPal, Billpoint or BidPay, and then he gives me the run-around with "How about ExchangePath?" Then, "Maybe I'll use C2it.com..." And finally he says, "Well I guess BidPay sounds okay, but how do I access it?" Duh, you type in BIDPAY.COM... Sheesh.
I can't believe anyone is this dumb, so I figure he's just not going to pay me at all... ever... Which is why he has so many negatives and so few positives, and leaves me wondering why the heck he hasn't been NARU'd yet.

We also have some buyers that are being very difficult with their choices of payment. We have several unpaid invoices sitting in our Billpoint account. They seem to be changing their minds with each e-mail.
Today one wanted to pay by Bikkpoint, then another by Pilpoint. We have also had requests for Bidpoint. Maybe some are typos but maybe all the payment options are confusing for some buyers.
