When selling an item on Ebay- how do you get your money when a buyer pays?

Question

I already have a pay pal account set up with a credit card for my own shopping, but do I need to add a debit card so I can easily withdraw my $ if I sell items? Will pay pal allow you to add/delete cards?
Thanks

Answer 1

You can link your paypal account directly to your checking account. Paypal deposits the money directly to your checking. Works great.

Answer 2

Yes. But beware. Paypal is not the perfect solution to selling on Ebay. I have had lost over $1,200 in 2 years using Paypal due to bogus complaints from buyers and lying thiefs that were sellers. And unless you move alot of money through Paypal, they will do little to help you reslove issues. Im as honest and nice as they come so take this advise to heart. Your best bet as a buyer and seller is using and receiving USPS money orders. These are easy to cash and if fraud happens on either end you have the US Post Office Inspectors to back you, they have helped me a few times in fraudulant actions that occured on Paypal and Ebay. Also you get charged an excessive amount by Paypal to do business with them. You will see some sellers that only accept Paypal as payment, but just ask and they usually will take another form of payment. Yes u can add/delete cards. And no, transfer of money in most cases is not instant. A checking account is best with Paypal, even though I dont endorse them at all, I avoid them.

Answer 3

Almost everyone now pays for items on eBay through Paypal. Very little checks or money orders come through. Log onto Paypal, view your personal account, and make changes.

Answer 4

you might need to add a bank account to withdraw your money or get a Paypal Debit card (they do charge ATM fees though)

Answer 5

Yes, to all of it.
