How to sell items using paypal?

[Frankensuby 10+ year member]

I've never sold anything online before, but I want to make sure to get a good feedback and be a good seller. I recently pretty much sold something over a forum, but I don't know how to use paypal for it. I've only bought using paypal, not sold.

What should I do? Do I use the E-bay system?

Bleh, once i figure it out, the rest of my sells will be easy.

Thanks alot guys

So you have a paypal account, correct?

All you have to do is provide the buyer with your paypal address and they can send money to your account. You can then withdraw it a number of different ways.

when you get the e-mail confirmation you will also be given the shippers mailing address... it is pretty self explanatory... it all starts AFTER the buyer puts money in your pay pal acct --

So do I wait for the payment to send the stuff out, right?

And the address is just my paypal account name?

I'm much better at caraudio then selling haha, sorry.

Your "address" is your email address that you used with PayPal. You tell him to send the money (they take 3% from whatever they send in fees, so you should charge the 3%) and you will get an email when the money is in.

Login to PayPal, and if it's cleared..send it, if it's pending... wait.

So basically, I just tell the guy to send the 57$ to my e-mail, the one I use to login, and when he sends it, I send the skis?

Sounds easy enough //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

That's pretty much it.

If he sends an e-check, wait till it clears in your paypal account before sending anything.

Yep, keep that in mind and you're good to go //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Dont you have to have your paypal account also set up to a bank to do this, not just a credit card? I was in the same boat as this guy, but thought you needed to list an actual bank account to accept funds.
