Here are some interesting numbers for you to reflect on. I surveyed the number of book category auctions on ebay that offered the various popular payment venues (pardon the word). Here's what I found....
.
paypal............306k auctions.
billpoint..........117k "
bidpay.............51k "
C2it..................5k "
payingfast..........1k "
.
A couple of remarks...payingfast is a new face on the scene and we'll have to see how it develops....I've done this before and the relative amounts have remained about the same.
.
An important caveat about the logos from these companies. about 10 ten days ago, bidpay's site was down all day and the logos on my auctions couldn't contact home in order to get the display instructions. The result was that my auctions would partially load and then stall, at the logo position, without showing any of the auction page. It was by accident that I discovered this. What it means is that no one could view my auctions while bidpoint was down and that's why I wasn't getting any bids or even counter increases. This probably happened to everyone that used bidpoint logos and they remained unaware throughout. I removed the logos and added links to my EOA email.
