I finally bit the bullet and signed up with Billpoint. My question: Is there anyway I can get that "Instant Purchase" option into my auction listings on eBay if I launch the auctions through AW?
If there isn't a way to do it through AW, does anyone know how or if I can get it into the listings once they are launched?
Thanks in advance!
Edited by me because I can't type this late at night!

I wish AW would get it together and support this feature.
Only way I know to do it is to go into your auction and click on "revise."
Then check the boxes & add the info for Instant Purchase.

AW makes it difficult to list other payment services outside of Paypal. You actually have to go into Revise to add them! Of course any revisions look bad and AW & Paypal know that. Which I am sure is why they have it set up that way. The more prohibative it is the less chances we will offer the other services.

I am no fan of billpoint but do you really think it is a nefarious plot by auctionwatch to prevent people from using other pay services besides paypal? Here we go again. We have a free site here- they are not charging you a cent to list auctions, host images, or anything else related to auctions, but you have decided there is a plot afoot. Why do I even poay attention to you guys? You are never satisfied and you are so criti al-BUT I DO NOT SEE YOU SETTING UP A SITE WHERE OTHER PEOPLE CAN HOST PICTURES FOR FREE AND LIST AUCTIONS.
You make me sick.

Were you born yesterday? Who cares if the service is free!? And how is it free when you lose money because they pull stunts like this latest snafu?
Lets see... two companies are affiliated... the one makes it easy for the other to gain business by directing the customers to them... and directing customers away from the others competition. Well, certainly if you believe that it was Completely unintentional, you must be completely unaware of business strategies and the fight for market share. Please take a business class! Then if you still don't understand, then you really need to see a doctor!
Hope you get well soon.
P.S. I have countless hours (which equals money) tied up in the set-up of my auctions here on AW. When I do change hosts, it will be with one NOT affiliated with Paypal.
