Paypal for buyers

Is there any reason that paypal is not one of the options of payments sellers accept? Seems like it would be a rather common choice, much more so than say, Discover Card. I'm not expecting any real integration since the buyer and seller have to work out payment between them anyway, but it would be a nice option to see. Would it take much to add it?

Re: Paypal for buyers

I changed the description of the items to reflect what payments the sellers would like to list in...IE in sell language you can change the item discover to read Paypal.

Re: Paypal for buyers

Does that then carry over to the auction payment description as well?

Re: Paypal for buyers

It does

You also need to change view item and relist item for the same values

Hmmm, I did a find and replace of Discover to PayPal in sell.pm. I didn't find Discover in sell.cgi. I uploaded the new file and now instead of Discover is says >Discover. I must be missing something

Re: Paypal for buyers

OK, when I am in the Language Manager (something I hadnt explored yet but see a few things I was looking for already!) I do a Search for Discover and it finds 8 files with matches, most of which say accepts_discover_label, some are a little different. I would think if I used Replace in the same module, it would shange to accepts_paypal_label. Or am I wrong?

Re: Paypal for buyers

I am in the understanding that it only replaces the text areas and not the labels. Try it on just discover and see if it changes the labels aswell, but i dont think it will
