Oh by the way - ALL Paymate fees charged to an Australian seller on eBay are subject to 10% GST charge on the 2.4% seller's fee only.
BNWT, its a bit like this really regarding your post about the banks.
Catch 22 in BaySpeak
In eBay’s help pages under “Setting up your buyer payment preferences” it states clearly “All electronic payment methods require you to use eBay’s Checkout.”
Using eBay Checkout says “When you list an item, you need to offer at least one online payment method.” and, later, “One or more electronic payment methods is (sic) required when you list.”
On the same page “Checkout is a preference that’s set automatically when you set up your seller account. You can disable it at any time.” and “If you’d rather not use Checkout when you list an item, you can disable it.”
In summary, you do not have to use eBay Checkout to list an item but you must offer an electronic payment method, which requires eBay Checkout to list an item
EHHHHHHH??????
