On eBay when buying with PayPal, what does the seller mean by 'Seller Preferred'?

Question

I'm looking to bid on something on eBay and I'll be looking to pay by PayPal. Now and again I've seen 'Seller Preferred' tagged onto the PayPal logo and it's attached to this particular auction. Now this may sound like a dumb question but what does that mean, does it mean the seller will only sell to someone who uses PayPal as a business account with eBay?

Answer 1

it means the seller prefers to use paypal

10 points please xD

Answer 2

It gets added to every auction that accepts Paypal as a payment option. The seller may *not* prefer it, but as Ebay own Paypal, they don't get a lot of choice...

Answer 3

Means the seller prefers you to use PP!!! Its a lot easier as a seller - fast payment means you can get stuff out fast too - no hanging on to stuff waiting for cheques etc.  And you always have a record of transactions too - they stay in PP. And you can set up automatic emails thanking for payments etc etc.

Answer 4

i think it means they prefer it but would reluctantly accept other methods, as opposed to paypal only

Answer 5

well what its means is that the seller wants the buyer to use that method of payment only

Answer 6

It means the seller prefers people to use PayPal to pay for purchases.  It may mean that that auction will only accept PayPal, but usually it means that you can pay by other methods but the seller would like you to pay with PayPal.

Answer 7

It means the seller would prefer that you paid via Paypal - so you'll be OK...

Answer 8

it means the seller prefers to be paid via paypal rather than another way

Answer 9

it means they prefer paypal (they would rather you used paypal.) but they will accept other methords  

sellers prefferd method is paypal if its next to paypal

sellers prefferd method is postal order if its next to postal order ect x

Answer 10

I think it means the seller prefers being paid by paypal.
