PayDirect by Yahoo! and HSBC

[Hierophant]

Has anyone used and integrated this into an Online Store? If so, how do you find the service? Anything I should watch out for?

I am interested in adding this to an online store as an alternative form of payment. It will be used along with Paypal, C2it, regular card processing and traditional payment.

I would be interested to knw as well, service charge is much lower than other means

When I sold on Yahoo auctions I used PD. Only got 1 customer to use it however.

I think at this point in time PP has the bigger market share.

[Hierophant]

Not concerned about market share. This will be offered along with Paypal and not in place of.

We will be rolling it out early 2004. Since it doesn't cost anything to have an account, we won't lose anything.

Have not used them or anything - seems a lot lot Paypal. Since it does not cost you anything - why not?

BTW - didn't C2It go under?

[Hierophant]

Yes, C2it went under but hadn't announced it when I first posted this message. Or I didn't see the announcement when they allowed me to sign up for an account right before starting this thread.

OK - I had remembered reading somehting on another site about 6 weeks ago or more about them. And it did not hit me until I re-read your post.

From what I read about Yahoo Paydirect - I would say go for it, but it does seem like something is missing - considering what they charge for hosting a shopping cart & everything else.

I don't care about PP market share either. But when you go to e-comm sites you frequently see PP offered as a payment option. Can't say I ever say PD listed on any site.

just wondering if there's any new info on this.....did you sign up? any fees you weren't aware of? they sure don't have alot of detailed info on their site especially concerning 'professional' accounts for businesses .....
