You can join the merchants listed on Shopping.com, including some of the world's largest stores as well as many smaller vendors, by providing the site with a listing of your products in a format specified by the service. Shopping.com will create your list for a fee, but there is no fee if you create the list yourself. Enroll, and Shopping.com gives you directions for uploading your list to the website. After that, you pay only when shoppers click on your product listing to go to your buying page from Shopping.com's search results. For more detailed information, including pricing, visit www.shopping.com.
PayPal Merchant Tools
Using PayPal Merchant tools is the preferred way to pay and be paid for online transactions. This eBay-owned service gives you the ability to cost-effectively handle credit and debit cards as well as bank transfers and PayPal account balances. Your customers don't need to have a PayPal account to pay you, and there are four service levels to meet the specific needs of your business.
PayPal Website Payments Standard lets you start accepting payments immediately without delays for approval. You don't need to have a shopping cart or make an annual commitment, and there are no monthly fees or charges for startup or cancellation of the standard service. However, there are transaction fees.

PayPal Website Payments Pro gives U.S.-based merchants the features of merchant accounts without the same high costs. PayPal Website Payments Pro costs $20 a month in addition to transaction fees.
PayPal Email Payments lets you get paid quickly by e-mail. It's fast and easy to set up--just 10 minutes, and you don't even need to have a website. You can send out e-mail invoices and receive payments through PayPal. Customers don't need their own PayPal account to send funds to your account--they can do so when they receive your e-mailed invoice.
Each of these three PayPal service levels has the option (either with a paid upgrade, by application and approval, or through the "Virtual Terminal" feature, respectively) of accepting credit or debit card payments directly on the site as well as by phone, fax, mail or in person.
PayPal as an Additional Payment Option is a way for merchants who already have a merchant account to add PayPal and give customers another way to pay. Get more details about PayPal Merchant tools at www.paypal.com.
