PayPal is owned by eBay, and buyers and sellers protection depends on the payment being made in very limited ways.

Direct bank transfer is a good option - no charges and very safe for the seller. Buyers should only use this method if the seller is trustworthy.

Here are eBay's recommended payment methods:

If you try to use any other method as a seller, your listings will be liable to be moved.

And you will find it hard to get sellers to accept other payment methods.

I have had nothing but trouble with PayPal, they put my account on some security alert recently for no apparent reason and then said I had to fax them something to prove I was me, I haven't even got a fax and they wouldn't take an e mail. Its a real pain.

Mate just use a good old fashioned cheque or a postal order. Like Lady P I have had to change my ebay password 3 times in the last month because they think my account isn't secure!!

I've never used Paypal but to me it's a bit of a no brainer. Sell an item and receive cheque/postal order pay no fees.

Use paypal and pay a %

Which shall I choose lol

I use ebay for a lot of buying and selling and would only accept cheques in extreme circumstances - and I rarely buy if the the seller does not accept PayPal.

Postal orders are expensive and going to the bank to deposit cheques is a pain. And then the wait for the cheque to clear.

If the cheque has been issued fraudulently, then it can be reclaimed from the account months after it cleared.

If I am buying and there is PayPal protection I know I will get a refund if there is any problems. I have been refunded without problems several times.

As a seller, I know all the requirements to safeguard myself and have not once lost out using PayPal.

my partner had �1100 taken out of his bank through paypal he found out by it being closed for security reasons he did get all the money back and his banks fraud department did say it was very rare as paypal is one of the safest but just check your bank since you cant enter your paypal account.
