Is it possible to pay something on ebay without having a paypal?

Question

because i ordered something off ebay today and i dont have a paypal account.

all i did was enter my credit card # and that was it.

Answer 1

Yes, for each auction you can see what sort of payment the seller accepts and as you learned, some accept other forms than paypal,,

Answer 2

Yes.  You have to read the requirements for payment of the seller...many will take a personal check and wait for it to clear, or a postal money order, or a credit card...etc.  But paypal is easy to set up....you might be glad to just get on it.  You don't have to keep a lot of money in it...just put some in when you want to pay for something.  I use it all the time....

Answer 3

of course,

get a money order from the bank =)

but, make contact with the seller informing him/her

about your payment

Answer 4

Your asking the question after you paid it already...... okay do I get the prize for noticing the question?

Handing your credit card number directly to someone could be a chance taking event. having PayPal gives your PayPal number instead of the actual number(just guessing) so as to avoid complications such as fraud.

You really should take the time to explore the Help topics found on eBays' mainpage. There are guides such as The Learning Center/Security/University Learning(advanced eBay users).
