EBay and Amazon?

Question

I'd really appreciate it if someone explains to me how EBay and Amazon work. Like how do you get paid? Do you have to create a bank account so that the money you make could be transferred there? And what is PayPal? Thanks :)

How do you get the money? Does PayPal send it you in a check or something?

Answer 1

To get started in Ebay, you have to set up a Pay Pal Account. You give them your checking account number and bank information. You also give them one of your credit card info. Once you have done all that stuff, then finally, you are able to buy something on Ebay. I remember my first purchase on Ebay, I wanted this pink watch so bad, and I had to do so much just to buy my pretty pink watch. By the time I finished with everything, I felt like I had just finished a tedious job and was frazzled. But, to this day, I love that watch. lol... it's true. Just go on Ebay and start the process of bidding and buying something, or just press help on wanting to buy something. Always go to Help and ask questions. Read all that stuff, and you are on your way. Good luck. I had to do a little more because I started selling stuff on Ebay and that is another process with Pay Pal, too.

Answer 2

Both are great sites. Ebay is a site for generally auctioned items. Amazon is more of a "buy it now" site and is best for books and CDs. PayPal is an account that you set-up to pay for Ebay items. Basically Ebay takes money out of your account and pays the seller with it so none of your personal information is transferred from the buyer to the seller. It's a nice system and it's very secure

Answer 3

PayPal's a secure way of executing transactions on the interbutt. eBay is where people auction/bid on items. Amazon is where people can buy directly from the seller.

you pay by entering your credit card info and stuff. the person you're buying from doesn't see the info, only PayPal does. so everything's safe. the seller only receives the money, not the info.

as a seller, you enter your information, and when someone decides to buy something from you, you get money put onto your account automatically. then you get notified about the buyer and you mail them their stuff. after the buyer receives the package, they rate how good of a seller you were. this lets future buyers know how reliable of a seller you are.

Answer 4

I would reccoment that you go to the Ebay website and read through on there guidlines and policy and also do that for Paypal. I say this as you risk being subjected to fraudilant behaviour should you get misinformed.

Pay-pal is a way in which a company collects money and gets it to you for a fee..

You sign up with them with your banking info and when you sell something they collect money and transfer it to that account (that you sign you with) minus a fee for the service....

It is in place because people would not just give their card info to pay for things via Internet to anyone so you need a reputable company to collect the fees and take responsibility for transactions.... of course you pay for their service...

That is how it works.... more detailed but in general that is the ideal.
