I have a question about ebay?

Question

i hve just registered for ebay... and picked something to bid on... but im confused because they let me bid without asking for any credit card numbers or asking how i am going to pay???? what happens?

Answer 1

Sign up for a Paypal account as stated above.

If you are buying on ebay, ALWAYS

pay through PAYPAL and fund it with a CREDIT CARD.

Then if anything goes wrong and PAYPAL can't get you a refund, you then have the option of filing for a CHARGEBACK through your CC provider.

PAY SAFE, STAY SAFE!

BTW, if a seller accepts PAYPAL, they must accept Credit Card payments.

Don't worry, the seller does not see your CC #. It is secured by Paypal.

Answer 2

Check the Payment Details near the bottom of the item description.  Most sellers accept PayPal and it is easy and safe to set up an account.  Fewer sellers may take credit cards, money orders or checks...Make sure you check before you bid.  If you can't find it or have a question, click on the 'Ask seller a question" at the top of the item description.

Answer 3

Go ahead and set up a PayPal account now: http://www.paypal.com. It takes some time to verify your bank information.

You can use your PayPal account (standard payment method for eBay) to pay after you win an auction. You'll get an email from eBay with instructions, so follow those if you get confused.

Happy bidding :)
