    Paying with Paypal on eBay

    Is it safe to use Paypal with eBay?
    I have been an active member of the eBay community for the last 4-5 years and have been using Paypal since day one! Especially now that Paypal has come up with a new policy that you cannot sell on eBay unless you have a Paypal or a Merchant account.

    You can also read another post I recently wrote about steps on "How to open a Paypal Account"
    Here are a few advantages and disadvantages of using paypal on eBay:

    Advantages:

    • Secure - no need to give out your credit card and personal details to each seller when you buy something
    • No Monthly Fees or Costs if you a buyer, if you are a seller then fees apply accordingly
    • A lot of eBay users trust and already have paypal accounts
    • Lower transaction fees then 2CO MoneyBrokers and many others.
    • Great for Start up businesses or small volume business.
    • Great for an extra payment option for High Volume and Large Businesses.
    • Fast and easy Payment
    • Easy to transfer funds/withdraw to your credit card whenever needed with only a lot payment of EUR2 per transaction
    • Free to withdraw funds to your bank account if you are in the USA

    Disadvantages:

    • Customer service - takes a long time to solve a problem if you have one, but once you reach someone it usually gets solved
    • Charge backs - easy to file a dispute when you purchase something, so if you are a seller you tend to have problems with customers requesting their money back. (personally have never had that problem - I think if your a good seller and honest your customers should not need to file a dispute against you)
    • Minimum withdrawal amount USD 10, EUR 10, GBP 6, etc
    • High fees, especially when you sell a lot usually a the end of the day you feel the small sums piling up!

    I hope I managed to give a little advice, more my personal experience of using paypal. Overall paypal is great and I would suggest it to everyone. I think its secure and very user friendly. And besides eBay accepts it what else one might need? :)

    I have opened the World of Ebay for myself... WoW

    I have always been a fan of eBay and have been registered there for God knows how long. And now, only after a couple of years I feel that I'm ready to try to start a small business of my own!

    I actually spent so much time lately doing research on what items sell and what doesn't on eBay and where it would be possible to find a good distributor that I'm surprised myself!

    Well I just wanted to share and ask weather anyone has a business on eBay or has bought anything on eBay??
    Please share your experience.. want to know more! :)
