Default Paypal echeck - can I turn off that choice?

Is there a way to turn off the echeck choice in Paypal? I have looked but seems to be a choice on the side of the customer.

Thanks.

Jeannie

Hmm.... generally giving more choices to your customers for ways to pay adds to your bottom line. What about the policy do you not like?

Yes, I think you can. I remember having a choice as to whether I wanted to accept echecks when I was creating a paypal button for one of my products.

Default Re: Paypal echeck - can I turn off that choice?

ive tried in the past and i cant seem to but the bottom line is i will only get one sale every six months like this so it really doesnt matter to me.

The echeque is often set by default by paypal if someone doesnt have a credit card as backup and not enough in their paypal account to cover it so the customer will very rarely realise.

kind regards

It is a downloadable product, and I just got an order paid by echeck.

I don't like it because they get the download and I don't get paid for more than a week. In addition, I have had an echeck payment not go through before, but they allready had the product.

I deliver through dlguard, so have not made a paypal button.

Log into PayPal.

Click the profile link.

Click Payment Recieving Preferences.

Near the bottom there will be a box to disable accepting echecks.

You can, but instead of doing that, why not deliver your products via
something like DLGuard? That way, the download link doesn't go out to
the customer until the e-check clears.

This way, you make more sales and you're protected against e-check fraud.

It's a win-win.

Hi jeannie

you can have it set up so that they are only taken to the download page after payment has cleared and when i have had customers use echeques they havent been sent to the download page.

kind regards

To expand on that, your IPN script needs a little modification to stop processing the order when the payment type is an eCheck.

When the eCheck clears the bank, PayPal automatically sends another IPN which can then be processed automatically, as if they paid for the product at that time.

If you find a PHP programmer, they can do this easily for you - and since it remains automated, it won't cause you more work.

On the other hand, if you rarely receive them, then just turn them off - they tend to cause more problems then they're worth in my opinion.

Steven, I use dlguard. I had forgotten the download does not go out until the echeck clears. Thanks.

I can see why you choose to after that post. That said, I personally would test to see if the financial gain outweighed the possible negatives first but that's me.

I stopped accepting them too. I use EJunkie, which does not send the product until after the echeck has cleared, and people were so abusive about it!

I didn't get a lot of echecks anyway, but whenever I did they inevitably came along with a nasty note calling me a scammer . . . I promised immediate download on my sales page, etc. It wasn't worth the aggravation, and the order process has been smooth since then.

Maybe it costs me a sale here and there, but I've never had anyone write to ask why I don't accept echecks - they probably just wait until they have the funds available or don't order at all.

I stopped accepting eChecks a couple of years ago after I got 3 "rubber" checks in a row. Don't have to worry about it any more.

I get an echeck every 45 days from an affiliate manager in London. I have no idea what it is I am promoting .

Apparently it is coming from long forgotten articles I have written.

I have tried to contact them but never get a reply .

But the checks always range from $50 to $550 and in about a week they go into my pay pal balance .

Guess you could say I kind of like e-checks :-)

If you really want to get rid of them just go to your payment preferences in your profile and un-check

I use DLG and it doesn't send out the goods until the echeck clears. Sometimes, I get a letter from a customer that wants to know why they haven't gotten their product.

The biggest problem I am having is that Paypal often wants to let people have their money back with no argument if the product is downloaded. In those cases, there may be less refunds/abuse if I send the customer a cd in the mail.
