A few questions about ebay and paypal?

Question

ok i want to sell my prom dress that i never got to wear....

so i set up an account but i cant figure out how to make it a "buy it now"

and also if someone decides to buy it then who sends what first? do i send the dress first or do they send the money first?

and is paypal secure enough for my mom to open it up with her checking account? is there a minimum balance that i need in there?

Answer 1

You can't do a buy it now on ebay until you have over ten sales.  They send you the money, wait for it to clear if its a check,  then you send the item to them.  Pay pal is a very secure site, you can trust it.

Answer 2

sell it to a friend or something it's way easier

Answer 3

u dont get the money.the money goes into the pay pal and u can acces it from ur bank or if u have a debit card

Answer 4

Once you follow the ebay rules and get the money in the Paypal account, you can transfer the money from Paypal to your bank account or open a card thru paypal and use it.

Answer 6

Im a eBay person, I Should Know Lol...I'll tell u Exactly, Ok...after you set up your credit card ifo on eBay so they can charge you for listing fees then your good. Once you set up all your info, then you click sell on top & list. Name it put prom dress then your gonna come to a page where you pick a category...Upload a picture, description/advertise the prom dress.condition, why you selling...etc. Then you start an action price, next theres a check box that saids Buy it now, you put your price there, then shipping, and payment to PayPal email, you have to sign up account through paypal and comfirm your bank account...if you don't see what I just mentioned click on the bottom sell your item form now...easier.

They send the money first, then you send the dress. If they don't receive the item, they can contact PayPal to withdraw the money from your account and strike your eBay account.

PayPal is secure, I hand my finance there with my bank account/credit cards, and no you don't need a minimum balance. Also you can do a backup account towards your moms checking if you don't have funds in the PayPal...any other questions just ask. Sorry it was long, just included details.

Answer 7

the "Buy it Now" feature is part of the set up of the auction. Not sure if you can change it after the auction is in motion though.

They send you the money first. If they send a check wait for it to clear your bank (like 10 days, seriously, I work for a bank!)

PayPal is quite secure. Since they are sending you money, no need to worry about anything, really.

There is no minimum balance, I keep nothing in my PayPal account unless I am selling something. :)

Good Luck!!
