In a world of my own
with paypal you need to set up an account for people to pay in if your selling, if you just buy then you can only send money to it you can receive money.

Although ive never used it, this is what i think the score is.

paypal

to pay some one you need to register your card number, to recieve you need to register your full bank account/credit card account details m8. Verified myself yesterday, but that only lifts the barrier on how much you can send/recieve.

PS I didn't know till now that the funds don't reach your bank account for 5-7 days..I thought the whole process of e commerce was to make it all instantanious. I would have less hassle asking for cheque payments LOL.

PayPal Account!

I use PayPal alot. Its great for buying which I'm sure you all know about! But when selling your items using PayPal please note the following.

The Payment goes direct into your PayPal account. This is like a Bank account but is electronic. From here you can either use the money to pay for other items. This is ready as soon as the payment to you has been made. Or you can have the money sent to your account. This can take upto 7 days. I have my switch card and my visa card listed in PayPal and I use one of them to have the fund sent to my account.

Also PayPal is charge you a the seller a small fee for handing this for you. Normaly about 3.5%..

I hope this is of some use.
