The Shop
Buy it now with an advertised price
Make offer
Auction where you bid till the last second.
Credit card is processed through paypal.
Do they accept checks?
If you ever decide to sell something on there, you get money deposited into your paypal account. At which time, you can transfer it to your bank account, or buy other things on ebay with it.
One does not need to be a PayPal member in order to make a purchase with a credit card. It is usually processed through PayPal or in some rare instances, a seller is a real store and let's his / her current credit card processing company do the processing.
About 98% of items on eBay are "Buy It Now", whether with or without a "Make Offer" option.
I think that if people want something that is not rare or hoping to get it for dirt cheap, they are usually fine with Buy It Now.
Always had 100% positive feedback.
PayPal can and does hold your payment from the buyer for a lot of bullshit reasons, for weeks or months.
Plus, there are a lot of hidden eBay fees.
Then packaging and shipping costs.
List something on eBay for 100 bucks, you're lucky
to net 70.
Fast forward 6 years, i make custom bicycle hubs. I work a deal out for a company in norcal that is mini specific, kids 10 and under, frames, cranks, they make all the small stuff, except hubs. I design them and make 20 sets of test hubs. Ship them out, they pay by paypal. A week later, paypal takes $8800 out of my account with no warning. I get an email from paypal stating the transaction was disputed by the buyer as product not as advertised.... THEY WERE PROTOTYPE HUBS!!!! I countered the dispute ams asked for the hubs back. Dude prints a shipping label and sends an empty box back. No sig required. I contact paypal, let them know dude stole the hubs and got his money back. They respond with, trscking says the package was delivered. Case closed. Fuck paypal
I must admit, it is a good place to find obscure stuff.
U want a part for an old bike, good chance it's there.
But, like mister2 says, it's all about the buyer.
It's almost like you're thought of as a criminal just for being a seller. You have the product, you put pictures up, you ship it, and it's still not enough for some.
Hate to say it, but I've scrapped some stuff for 10 cents on the dollar rather than deal with eBay and PayPal, as a seller, lately.
Not really a business but not bad for clearing out some room in the attic and making a couple of bucks.
Here is what I have listed right now - https://www.ebay.com/usr/lukaitis9
Pit Row
I stopped selling anything out of the continental USA because I had people say they didn't receive the item, yet the tracking only would say that it was delivered to the local countries post office. Went on for months, but ended up having to refund the guy the money and they never found my package. My fault I guess - should have insured it.
I found two links saying you can buy without Paypal using debit ir CC, but either way it automatically signs you up for a PayPal account once you purchase.

A new PayPal account will automatically be created for you when you make your first purchase, even if you did not previously have an account with PayPal. You will be able to use this account for future purchases. Plus, you won’t need to enter your credit card information again after the first time.
