A couple of Questions

PM

Hi I have a couple of questions I was hoping you guys can help me with.

Firstly im creaing an online site via mrsite and wanted to ask about paypal. Do you have a normal acccount? I have one under my name but want the one site site to show company name and not have my name init.

secondly how do you post stuff? Im gone be posting clothing do I just send it first class? I dont want to put my home address.

thirdly and lastly is there any thing cheaper then royal mail po box. I dont know howw much I will use it so I didnt want to spend £50 + on there po box.

thanks in advance

If you are selling online you have a legal requirement to have your company address on your website - given people will be able to get it form there then I would worry about it being on your mail.

Personally wouldnt touch paypal with a barge pole.... if you want to go down this type of route I personally would go for https://www.nochex.co.uk instead

Posting things, I go for recorded delivery so that I have proof of receipt of the goods - my goods are very low value so dont warrant the insurance given/ extra cost of special delivery or couriers

Never looked into po boxes as in my opinion they make an honest company look exceptionally dodgy

There is really no advantage to using recorded delivery for low value items, a (free) certificate of posting covers you up to the same value of £32. If you look at some threads on the subject, Nochex can also make charge backs in the same way Paypal does as can credit card companies. A lot of people already have Paypal accounts with cash sitting in them and it seems sensible to offer this as an option I offer Paypal as well as credit cards on my site and have never had a problem with either; about 15 per cent opt for Paypal. On these boards you see all the transactions with problems the vast majority are fine.

thanks guys!
Thing with mr site is the thing uses paypal and builds it in. I need to look on paypal to see whats gone happen there.

Now thing with addy is I only have my home one and Im a student so I wont be able to get any place until I graduate and have some capital this is why a PO BOX seemed so appealing.

thanks once again

There's many companies out there that you can pay yearly fee to be your registered company address. However they can get quite expensive if they are forwarding a lot of mail a few times a week to you. Check ebay, yellow pages and exchange and mart for such companies or do a google search.

Like PayPal, NoChex do not actually make chargebacks as they do not issue credit cards to anyone. They can receive chargebacks to their merchant account and that is where the difference is as paypal will pass the chargeback on to your account where as nochex absorb the cost themselves.

Naturally I am sure that both companies monitor how many chargebacks their customers are receiving and so as nochex absorb the cost they may kick people out quicker than paypal
