Answer 1

Paypal is an online money exchanging system commonly used by Ebay buyers and sellers.

if you don't know what it is then I guess you don't have it so the answer would be no, you can't accept Paypal.

You can sign up for Paypal quite easily but it needs to link to your bank account so you can transfer money to and from it. To be sure of getting this right they have a safety system and it takes a couple of days to sort it all out. You also pay charges for transactions through Paypal.

If it is just for the sake of one sale - don't bother. If you plan on doing a lot of selling/buying through Ebay then it is worth doing as it makes life a lot easier than waiting for cheques etc through the post.

Answer 2

me, myself and i, wouldnt use any means online to accept/pay for items. that's just me, not wanting to risk it.

but if you want to sell the saddle, make sure the person is legit, and that you get the money before you ship the saddle off.

Answer 3

Make a paypal account,, don't worry, you won't be scammed!

It's perfectly safe :)

Answer 4

Paypal is an online electronic payment system that takes the money from either a bank account or a credit card account and pays the seller for the item. many people on ebay pay for their items this way! I would rather take a money order instead just to be safe, especially if the buyer is in a different state or even country! And if so... shipping! Who pays for that... Buyer or Seller!?
