How to Accept Payments on eBay Without PayPal
1. Set up your own merchant account. A merchant account is a business bank account that allows you to process credit card payments securely online through your own third-party interface. This is one of the allowed alternative methods of payment acceptance on eBay. Contact the bank through which you have a business or personal bank account and inquire about the types of merchant account programs they offer. Shop around if the initial offer isn't to your liking. Avoid exorbitant setup fees by comparing offers from various reputable banks and online merchant-account providers. Ensure that your merchant account provides an online interface for your customers to pay for eBay transactions, as well as for you to keep records of your transactions and shipments.
2. Accept cash on delivery, or c.o.d. If you have a local warehouse or storefront, or you're willing to allow customers to come to your home or place of business to pick up the merchandise, eBay allows you to accept cash in exchange for goods handed over in person. You can also accept c.o.d. if you're willing to deliver the merchandise to the customer's home or place of business. Factor in the cost of in-person delivery into your final auction price.
3. Register for one of the alternative online payment-transaction services eBay is willing to accept aside from PayPal. These services include ProPay, Moneybookers and Paymate. All of these services work similarly to PayPal. Customers can fund the payment with their bank accounts or credit cards, and merchants transfer the funds into their own bank accounts. Compare the fee structures, services for online auctions and terms of service for each company to determine which one may be right for you.

1. Discuss the process for donation acceptance at the funeral home with the funeral director. Many funeral home directors accept donations and apply them to the bill. You will then receive a record of the names of each person who donated and the amounts donated.
2. Contact your local bank and set up an account specifically for acceptance of donations for funeral expenses. You can set this account up prior to or after the death of your loved one and family or other can donate at their discretion.
3. Ask the pastor, priest or other local church, temple or other religious institution leader to help you with accepting donations to cover the cost of the funeral expenses. Many religious leaders, like funeral home directors, will accept and record a donation, apply it to the costs and then provide you with a list of donors to thank.
4. Speak with local businesses and any clubs you’re a member of about setting up avenues to accept donations from the community. Businesses or clubs may permit you to set out donation jars or may sponsor an event to raise funds to cover the costs.
5. Go to a memorial and donation account website such as GoFundMe, or a general donation request site such as Wish Upon A Hero or GiveForward, and follow the on-screen instructions to set up a place for people to make donations online (see Resources).
6. Set up donation acceptance through a payment company such as PayPal or WePay. Add a donation payment button to a personal or memorial website you already have set up or set up a donation page on the company's website.
7. Add a line about donations to the obituary or death announcement provided to your local newspapers or news stations explaining your preferred donations method. For example, “In lieu of flowers, the family of (decedent’s name) has asked for donations to help cover funeral expenses. Donations accepted at (location).”

How to Reverse PayPal Payments
1. Sign into your Paypal account. The only way to reverse Paypal payments is by refunding the payment directly to the buyer using the website.
2. Choose the "History" section at the top of the screen, and select the date of the transaction. If you’re unsure of the exact date, Paypal lets you pick a period of time by naming two dates and showing all transactions that occurred between those dates.
3. Find the payment you need to reverse, then select the "Details" button next to the date of the transaction. The Details menu shows you all information relating to that transaction, such as the buyer’s name, shipping address and any notes she sent to you about the sale. Write down the amount of the sale.
4. Select the "Refund Payment" button at the bottom of the screen. This takes you to another page and lets you reverse the payment. Type in the total amount you want to refund to the buyer using the information you wrote down earlier, and press submit.
5. Log out of your Paypal account and wait a few minutes before logging back into your account. The total amount should now be reversed back to the buyer, but you may need to wait a little longer to see the amount credited from your account.
