Ebay and Nochex?

[Deleted User]

As an Ebay virgin (I have placed my first bid today!!) I am interested in selling a few things too.

Having read the discussions over Paypal - can anyone comment about Nochex?

How do they compare with Paypal.

Are they Ebay'able?

u can accept nochex on ebay just mention u accept it in your auction,trouble is most of your buyers wont have nochex accounts and will insist on using paypal,i used to offer it as a payment method but it hardly got used so didnt bother offering it after a while.nochex fees are less but you dont get the protection offered by paypal(some people may look upon this as a good thing as this has caused some problems:eek: )

I used to offer nochex as an payment option on ebay but I think it was only ever used twice in several years. That made it more expensive than paypal as I then had to pay the additional 25p to withdraw the nochex payment as it was below £50 on both occasions.

Buyers tend to prefer paypal.

Thanks for the replies.

Buyers do prefer Paypal, but they can be pursuaded to use Nochex if you make it easy for them. Send them a Nochex invoice along with the ebay invoice and some will use it

Forgot to say....Nochex is 100% safer for sellers than Paypal

Problem is that now Ebay owns PayPal they are promoting it so heavily, Nochex doesn't have a chance.

I've been offering Nochex (along with PayPal) for years now, but not one buyer has opted for a Nochex payment.

I bought a computer online from a company (nothing to do with eBay) and they insisted on Nochex payment so I now have an account with Nochex.

The computer was exactly what I wanted for the price so I was happy to use Nochex.

I wondered if I only offered Nochex and not Paypal whether potential buyer would be put off - I wasn't. I suppose it boils down to how much you want the item.

um and buyer of item under £100? doesn't need Nochex account?

paypal = geared to buyers

nochex = great for sellers

i use nochex a lot, and push it too, but have been cornered into having to use paypal :-(

I agree with what bleugh says. As a buyer I wouldn't use anything but paypal, but as a seller I did try to push nochex with no success, and I still push bank transfers with no success. My buyers are like me and will only use paypal.

I do still have my nochex account and I've noticed they have some quite stringent limits now, a max of £100 a day for instance unless you pay to register your bank details with them. It was never a problem for me as I never sold more than about £20 of stuff through it, but it might be a hinderance to bigger sellers who have a good intake.
