Personally, I can't quite get past the part about having to ship the item before I have access to the $$ which the buyer paid for it ... and even then, it would likely be another few days before it reaches my bank account! I'm half-tempted to try it (my I is that I can bail out, at least for now, if I don't like it) just to see if it works for me. I just don't know what to do ...<br /><br />I believe that I'm set up for Amazon Payments, so that makes 2 of us who would be happy with that option!

I have heard from some other members that they're getting 75% of their sales using the direct checkout option. So I'm good with it. The fees are comparable with PayPal fees, which I checked out before I signed up. But if it helps a seller make that decision to buy, then I'm in favor.Leahhttp://www.organiluxe.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364146526985747601.post-87562650245497184902012-03-23T13:42:21.265-06:002012-03-23T13:42:21.265-06:00I like the idea of adding payment options but I...I like the idea of adding payment options but I'm not a fan of the way Etsy is going about it. They charge listing fees, transaction fees and now they want a fee to allow them to hold payment for 3 days! Not for me. Paypal charges fees too but at least your balance is available right away. I haven't run into a problem with the withdrawal limit on paypal yet and if I did, I might feel differently, but for now I'm regarding it as another way for Etsy to stick its hand out. I tried search ads and they were a waste. I'd like to hear some positive feedback before I try this one out.Carol Tannahillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05778926519867307032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364146526985747601.post-28098993398222129422012-03-22T11:47:29.800-06:002012-03-22T11:47:29.800-06:00It's not available to my shop yet, but I have ...It's not available to my shop yet, but I have mixed feelings about it with what I've read in the forums. Like Deb said, Etsy will hold all payments for 3 days AND will hold payments until item ships. This could be a problem for sellers doing "made to order" and custom work that needs prepayment. Paypal certainly has its issues, but I don't have either of these restrictions with Paypal. Agreed though - more options is good.barbaradonovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694148642745082571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364146526985747601.post-72034106547158382122012-03-22T10:30:37.150-06:002012-03-22T10:30:37.150-06:00There was a long discussion in the forums when the...There was a long discussion in the forums when they started rolling it out.
