Hello folks I am new here,Just signed up 2 out of the three auctions I have won with the use of this service the third one is not finishing for a few day but I hope I have the same sucsess,

Now for my questions

I have been browsing this forum and have found 2 mentions of better to use a credit card then pay pal what the scoop

What are the excact charges we are going to be paying? unless I am misunderstanding some thing the service seems rediculosly cheap.

And lastley why isnt every one using this service after I have seen the results it seems like a no brainer and exsplains why I have been losing alot of auctions lately

Paying with paypal is a manual process and it takes us 1-3 days to credit your account. Usually 1 day, but up to 3 when the person who does it isn't working. i.e. their 2 days off each week. So just be sure to keep enough money in your balance here and you'll be fine paying by PayPal. The advantage to a credit card is that it's charged automatically and you dont have to worry about running out of funds in your account. Although I'm hoping we will automate the paypal procedures in the coming months. Then either would be fine.

Because they dont know about it Frown That's basically the reason. Help spread the word and get 3 free snipes for each that signup. There is a link on the Help tab that will help send a referal link with your name to people you know. Just enter their email addresses.

When used correctly you should certainly save more than the service costs you. Both in your time, and money. So I guess in that reguard it is a great deal! Plus we're just a small company so we dont have the need for greed Smile
I don't know if you use the PayPal IPN for something else, but there are ways around that too.

PayPal IPN (instant payment notification) will send a request to a URL when a payment is made. How is that useful to you? Simple. Set up a page wnere the item number is the email of the sniper, urlencoded. When you get a payment, paypal sends notification to your server of how much, and who. You then send the request back, to make sure it's not a fake, and paypal.com will tell you it's legit. The server then can automatically add funds to the person's balance.

No additional fees, and you don't have to manually move anything over. If you are interested, I can help you with it.
