I have been using my Credit Card for years. You set up the card with them on the website. They make 2 small charges are made to check the account, then refunded when you tell them what the amount was. By default, your checking account is the default payment method, and you change to the card when you make a payment.

As for your buyer using the card without a PP account, not sure how they would do that. Ask them to send a check or USPS money order. They need to wait for everything to clear for 2 weeks. USPS money order can be cashed at the USPS, so they spot phony MO themselves.

You could set up an online payment system to accept a credit card, but takes a little bit, and has normal fee. I use that for a vacation condo I rent.

As a seller, i have also done a paypal request funds to an individual that didn't have a paypal account. You do it using their email address. They can pay by credit card through this method i think. The payment comes to you via paypal though,seamless.

thanks guys...

Yep easy to do and have done it a few times. You can't use a debit card though. Must be actual credit card.
