If you bid like $1.50 and win do you get to keep it for that price of course plus shipping also do you have to buy it with paypal and how the hell do you turn paypal into cash.

You win at the highest bid price. You can bid by proxy which means that you bid your maximum amount that you'd be willing to pay and then Ebay bids for you up to your max amount. If you bid your max at $2.00 and the last bid was $1.50, you'd win it at $1.50, not $2.00. No, you don't have to pay by paypal, but be sure to check the sellers payment methods. Some only accept paypal. Paypal is very safe and easy to use. If you accept payments through paypal, you can transfer the money into your bank account. Ebay is pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it. Be sure to read through the Answer Center on the Community page. There's some valuable info on there.

It is all really well explained on the e-bay and paypal sites.
Take your time, read all of the information, look at the FAQs and different forums. Ask questions on the site.
Also, watch the different items similar to what your interested before bidding or offering for sale. They will give you an idea about how things are done. Especially look for users with high numbers in the positive range, they obviously know how to use e-bay.
I've been using e-bay since 2001 and have never had a problem.

Rather than go into some long explanation that would probably confuse you rather than help you, I'll just give you two bits of advice:
1. To learn about ebay and how it works, go to www.ebay.com and click on Learning Center. (Off to the right in a long list of stuff.) It will give you all sorts of information about ebay and PayPal.
2. Check out shipping and handling costs *before* you bid, as some sellers charge outrageous s&h fees.
I've had good luck with ebay, mostly as a buyer, although I don't do it a lot.

Paypal is linked to a bank account & credit card.
You bid on an item, if you win you pay winning bid + shipping.
If seller accepts paypal it is better & more secure. Ebay will link you to paypal to complete the transaction.
Then you wait to receive your item in the post.

Yes, the winning bid is the price you will pay + shipping for the item.
Most auctions take paypal or credit card.
Paypal is hooked up through your bank account so that when you pay for something through paypal, its automatically deducted from your checking account.

eBay is so over complicated that I got frustrated and canceled my account,that took six minutes of click here and view that and was just as frustrating as the rest of the site!
