Small Business Merchant Accounts
Hello, is there a way to eliminate buyers from using credit cards on your paypal account when they send you money?
I wish to set up a 3rd party merchant account in it’s place to accept cc’s, and only accept paypal if it’s nonCC payment types to avoid chargeback situations. It’s proven Paypal won’t fight or investigate claims for their customers, and chargebacks could be costly. This is all about min. fraud risks.
So, is there a feature to disable the use of credit cards being used on paypal for a business account? If so, where can I find this?
Thanks

You can turn off account optional in your account. Go to your profile and click on Website Payment Preferences>PayPal Account Optional. Turn if off and save it. A customer will now only be able to pay with their PayPal account.
Or if you want to cancel your account ; you can not have outstanding debit in your paypal account, if you do not, follow these instruction to cancel your account; https://www.paypal.com/helpcenter/main.jsp;jsessionid=HFhY4YyS2hwQbyqRb6XPpWJTSgvSFFbWQhcCs19Dw0JtnvkhTJqh!-1480810803?locale=en_US&_dyncharset=UTF-8&countrycode=US&cmd=_help&serverInstance=9006&t=solutionTab&ft=searchTab&ps=solutionPanels&solutionId=11935&isSrch=Yes
An excellent company I use for merchant services is Simple Payment Systems/NAB. The software to take credit cards online is free, and they give you a free credit card terminal also if you need it. They train you for free. The rates are cheap.No start up costs! I personally have never had a problem either.
Best wishes and Happy Thanksgiving!
