Pros: No cost to winning bidders
Cons: Ridiculous fees for sellers & hold time of funds
Billpoint is the newest online payment service on the internet scene. Billpoint is the official payment service of Ebay.com, put in place to help Ebay buyers and sellers expedite and complete an easy transaction; or so I thought!
Billpoint,...

Pros: free for buyer, allows acceptance of credit cards
Cons: open to fraud
I admit it - I once used and even liked eBay's Billpoint service. Billpoint allowed for the quick use of major credit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Discover) as well as using a checking account to purchase items. While the service was free to the...

Pros: Allows you to accept credit card payments
Cons: slow on deposits to your account(s)
I have used BillPoint for about 3 years now, since EBAY
started to offer the on line payment option.
They have several benefits.
1. You can accept on line credit card payments.
2. BillPoint sends you an email confirming...

Pros: Somewhat integrated with Ebay, allows international bidders
Cons: Doubles the cost of an auction if buyer uses it
If you had the choice of two services that are virtually equivilent, and the only differences were that one is free, and the other charges you, I would imagine there would be no hesitation in choosing the free service. This is exactly the situation that...

Pros: Integration with eBay
Cons: No chargeback protection means you can get screwed, high fees, site difficult to navigate
I am enraged today. Even the fact that I have closed my BillPoint account does not provide me any reason to be less angry.
Have you ever heard of chargebacks? These are the eBay sellers’ worst nightmares, if they use...

Pros: eBay's payment system; Accepts credit card accounts
Cons: Expensive; Transfers do take time
For a number of years now, Paypal has dominated the e-mail-based payment system. It has been a godsend to many of us who have items to auction. It has thousands of users. (Please take a look at my review of Paypal!). In 1999, Paypal partnered with...

Pros: Conveniently bundled with Ebay
Cons: Bully tactics to wipe out competition
As an avid user of Ebay, I have used Billpoint many times. I find it convenient to use as it is bundled with Ebay and provides your bidder fast access to "checkout" and pay for their auctions with a credit card or online check. However the downfall to...

Pros: They take Discover
Cons: The fake, dumbed-down, really bad version of PayPal
I joined eBay long before they had BillPoint payment services available. Soon after I joined eBay, PayPal came out, and was an extremely popular payment service. Many people were using their credit cards on PayPal to pay for items thru auctions. eBay...

Pros: Ease of use
Cons: Cost to sellers
Billpoint works fine - but that's not the point.
As far as ease of use I would have to say that Billpoint, on eBay at least , is easier to use for sellers and buyers. However, it costs the seller money. There you have it in a nutshell. I have...

Pros: International payments, transaction summaries, creates an invoice
Cons: Expensive, there are free alternatives
Billpoint is an online billing and payment system that allows Ebay buyers to pay sellers securely and easily. But why should sellers pay Billpoint's fees when they can accept payments for free through PayPal and other services?
The...

Pros: quick when it works
Cons: Usually it doesn't
Having been introduced to BillPoint via Ebay, I was initially impressed with it's apparently secure and immediate system of payment. On further introduction however, I now feel compelled to advise prospective users against it.
I have only...

Pros: Quick and Easy
Cons: Seller's fee for each payment
Now, all I see is negative critics to Billpoint, well let me tell you my case.
I live in Spain (Europe) and won an ebay auction. I couldn't pay with my VISA through PayPal because my credit card doesn't have the PayPal required three...

Pros: Owned by Ebay
Cons: FEES
I buy and sell on Ebay and that is where I found out about Billpoint.com. Ebay recently bought Billpoint and is currently doing a pilot program with certain Ebay sellers.
I consider Billpoint's worst aspect is that they are charging sellers a...

Pros: integrated with Ebay
Cons: fees, fees, and more fees
Billpoint has one main advantage that gives it an edge over EVERYONE: its alliance with Ebay. If you're a serious seller on Ebay, and you want payment fast, this is definitely a good service. The PayMe logo (if you selected Instant Payment at the start...

Pros: None
Cons: Excessive charges for what is free elsewhere
As an extensive user of eBay, I'm always interested in features which can help me in my buying and selling... but this one is NOT a good deal! I first became aware of it through prominent ads placed on eBay, so like a good eBayer, I went and...
