If you have a mailbox you're already set up to accept Bidpay.

Well here's my concern. It says pay for Auctions. What if you're not doing auction business but person-to-person sales? I don't see anything related to transferring money.
And -- seller gets paid by Money Order??? Huh????

Sal - I hope you aren't selling Item # 36*******23 (auction ended early) for $25 to a buyer who contacted you through eBay "off ebay" because that is NOT ALLOWED. Western Union Auction Payments will not do "non auction" transactions. You can lose your eBay status for things like this and the measly FVF you save is NOT WORTH it! Relist the item with a BIN and email the link to the Aussie and have him buy it the right way. He then can use Bidpay and you will stay eBay kosher.

Neglus, I cancelled the auction yesterday after i thought the guy was a prankster. I thought someone was using my Ebay account fraudulently.
The auction is cancelled.
Do you suggest I reopen it?

Yes relist it (free if the item sells)...but gee Sal, do you think you really should be selling on eBay? It seems to me you don't have a CLUE about how any part of it works!! The thought that you said you taught eBay (earlier threads) leaves me cold. One of the eBay fundamentals is that you don't sell off eBay. However innocently you went about it, selling to the Aussie would be selling off eBay. It doesn't make sense that you cancelled the auction because you "thought someone was using my Ebay account fraudulently". Nothing in your earlier thread would indicate that there was a sign that someone had your id or the buyer's for that matter!

Sal -You are not still teaching ebay classes are you?
AuctionPayments.com is avenue which enables customers to purchase a money order online to pay for their auctions. Most sellers suggest it t international buyers as it is asimple and fast way of recieving payment. AP then mails the money order to you.
Please explain why you would end a single auction because you felt that an undeliverable email resulted in fraudulent use of your account? This defies logic on so many levels.
How is a person that sent you a question supposed to have managed to gain access to your account for these fraudulent actions?
Even assuming that this was somehow possible, how would canceling a single auction stop them from using your account?
Why would you not simply change your password.
I'm torn between wondering if you really this clueless or if you just think we are.
I personally would not recommend you enter into international transactions until you have a better understanding of the workings of ebay and international transactions. That said, you can register an account with AuctionPayments if you wish for free. It's basically just a good way of maing sure that payment sent to you are sent to the correct address as it will use the address that you register for mailing your payments and help avoid the possibility of possible typos in the address from your bidder.
edited to add - Now that I see you are dealing with this person directly on this item I think that you believe that we are all idiots. You canceled the auction to do the deal off site. What amazes me is that you have the gall to wish us all ill will a few weeks back hen come back seeking advice which for some reason many decided to give you and then and further insult to the situation by flat out lying (and not even coming up with a good one) so that you could once again .... not do your own f*cking research. You are lazy, dishonest and insulting and I think you have officially exhausted any goodwill that any reasonable person was willing to extend to you.

Fe - the answer would have to be CLUELESS - why else post the auction number in one thread and then talk about selling "person-to-person" in another??? I can't even imagine how Sal came to the conclusion of id theft though, unless as you suggest, she was trying to find an excuse for selling off ebay...all to save what? $ 1.31 in FVF?? She could save a legal way however by listing at $ 9.99 instead of $10 ($.25)....as any eBay rookie knows...

Look -- I DON'T do ebay, this is a rare occasion. If you see my other posts I'm at ioffer, half and Amazon.
Look -- I've never had someone contact me overseas! Okay! That's why I'm here to find out what to do.
The software sold for hundreds of dollars 2-3 years ago, but because of EBAYERS and WALMARTERS, it's only worth about $25. Go to Ebay yourself and look it up.
I would have loved to put it up for $100 but when I went shopping, well -- you ebayers had priced it so low I had no choice. It's the Walmarting of the world.

Fe -- you're right, I'm finished with international sales esp if it requires going through Bidpay.
But -- it's just an item I have no need for. I want it gone and Ebay is the quickest way to get rid of it -- sometimes.
BTW, I have sold OFF EBAY before because the customer requested that I do it. So there -- sorry if Feebay didn't get the backend fee but it got the front end fee.

So in otherwords... you lied when you made the first statement,
As long as you are fulfilling requests.... are there any lakes near you?

SalGal, bless your heart! <banging head on table, repeatedly>
Fe -- you're right, I'm finished with international sales esp if it requires going through Bidpay.
I can understand why you'd be hesitant to accept MONEY ORDERS from a company that no one has ever heard of. You know like....... Western Union ?!?. BidPay is now Western Union Auction Payments. It is RISK FREE for the seller. NO POSSIBILITY of reversals or chargebacks.
Would I be right in saying that posting here is just a good way to find a little distraction? The questions you ask and the statements you make, surely aren't sincere, right? This has to be a gag (-- a troll ? ).

Salgal I would like to ask you a question. Not to belittle you or anything but why are you teaching an eBay class when you don't even sell on eBay? It seems with the number of feedback you have you haven't done enough transactions so that you can really tell someone else how to sell. Now to be fair to the people paying for the class they need someone that knows eBay inside and out and there are only a few that do. Is this one of the reasons seasoned sellers are having so many problems?
I have been on eBay since 1999 and I still have problems. I sold sporadically in the beginning but didn't start really selling until about a year after I joined as eBay has many rules and regulations, many which sellers, buyers don't abide by, and they change often. If you have been in this group very long you should realize than many or most of us do not do deals off eBay. I need my spot on eBay and to protect that I try and sell professionally and within the rules.
I think if you dislike eBay that much you shouldn't be teaching a class. I hope I have said this in a way not to offend you but to see sellers point of view on sellers & buyers that don't know what they are doing.

Kiara's emoticons say it better than words could. It takes all kinds. Now everyone knows just how lucky their buyers are that they found you and not someone who might give them nightmares.
Great to see everyone giving it the ole college try, but I think education isn't possible - especially with conflicting info, etc.

SalGal -- Can you help us understand what the following feedback you left for someone means?
Customer was a buyer.
Not criticizing, just wondering how the feedback provides any idea of the success or failure of transactions with those eBayers...
It must work for you, because you've used it many times -- and it's short and to the point. Certainly couldn't get sued over that one - for sure - so that's good.

...why are you teaching an eBay class when you don't even sell on eBay?
I'm more likely to look to Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder for tennis lessons than I am to seek eBay lessons from Salgal48.
