Why should you authorize Paymate to be linked to your eBay account?

eBay.com now requires all sellers to offer buyers only electronic payment options that are approved by eBay and integrated into eBay Checkout. Paymate has been approved by eBay as a safe and secure electronic payment method that protects buyers and sellers.

You can use Paymate on eBay.com ONLY if you authorize Paymate to be linked to your eBay account as above. This authorization allows Paymate to request information from eBay about the buyer, item and seller so that the Paymate Express payment page can be filled in correctly for the convenience of both buyer and seller. Your buyer can then simply click on the Paymate option in their Checkout form and authorize payment to you via credit card.

This process speeds up payment by the buyer, gets you your money faster and you can ship goods quickly to the buyer.
