Some Ebay help PLEASE!!

[sblme28]

Well, I've mastered the art of BUYING from ebay. And I've even sold a bit before, but I want to make my selling posts even better. I have some stuff to sell now, and I really need some paypal. So, I have some questions for all of you Ebay savvy sellers.

Ok, here they are:

1. When you write out the description, I usually format is ( new paragraphs, etc.), but then when it is listed, it all comes out as one huge paragraph...yucky!

2. Can you pay your Ebay seller fees with paypal. I can't remember if I tried to do this last time. All I know is that I had to end up sending them a check.

3. How do you get your pictures to load correctly? I tried and well...they just didn't load.

Thanks in advance! If I think of anymore...I'll ask.

-Jessica

1. Are you sure you're using the correct html code? Like <p> makes a new paragraph, <b> bolds it, etc. You can print out a html help form from ebay that gives you all the correct codes.

2. I don't believe you can pay seller fees with paypal - credit card or check. You can check that out on their seller help too though.

3. If you use ebay picture service, all you do is browse and click on the file you want as your picture. It'll show it to you in a little window after it loads. If you use a different service, you need the IMG code address to link the picture.

Hope that helped some.

You could pay Ebay fees from PayPal profits if you sign up for the free PayPal debit card. You may have to be a confirmed or some "higher" status member to get the debit card, but it's free and currently they are giving a % back bonus on all purchases IF you accept only PayPal as Ebay electronic payment (i.e. not Billpoint -- you can still take money orders, etc.). It's called "PayPal Preferred" but I don't know how much longer they will do that, with the recent merge of Ebay and PP.

I love my PP debit card! I use AmEx to pay Ebay fees, to get reward points from AmEx, but you could give Ebay the PP debit card number and (as long as you have enuf money on account at PP) pay your Ebay fees that way.

Thanks everyone! I'll have to check all this stuff out. That card sounds neat. Maybe I'll get it.

THANK YOU!

[PayPalDamon]

Thanks for posting that you could pay the fees with the debit card.

[sblme28]

ok, sorry...another question. is the paypal card like a credit card or like a debit card? do you have to have the money in your account to use it? i dont want another credit card, but getting a debit card linked to my paypal account would be cool. thanks.

[PayPalDamon]

Yes, the debit card can be used like a credit card (using your PayPal account). You can use it wherever the MasterCard logo is displayed.

Please note that the cashback on PayPal Preferred only happens when use the card for purchases (not ATM withdrawals).

sorry...im confused...so you DONT have to have the money in your paypal account to charge something? so its not like a debit card...?

[sblme28]

also, if you dont use it at all...you wont get charged...right?

and...you can pay your bill off with your paypal account? exsisting funds?

[PayPalDamon]

No, there are no fees if you don't use it.

I am not sure if I understand the second question? If you mean eBay fees, then you could make the payment to eBay using the PayPal Debit Card.

You DO have to have the money in your paypal account. It is a debit card, linked straight to your paypal account. You can use it like a credit card for purchases, provided you have that amount of money in your account. It's when you use the card as a credit card that you get the cash back.

Hi dianemarie,

Thank you for posting the clarification. Yes, you must have money in your PayPal account to utilize the debit card.

Currently eBay isn't set up to take paypal payments just from your account, you need to debit card so you can use that account number at eBay to pay your fees. So you can't go to paypal and click "send money" and pay eBay. Does that make sense?
