I want to sell stuff on ebay. How do I accept money ?
I just have few things I’d like to get rid off. I don’t wanna do business selling stuff on ebay. I have a free paypal account which I use to buy stuff off of ebay. But in order for me to sell on ebay, I need to be able to accept payments by paypal, correct ? If so, I need something like premiere paypal service or whatever they are called, which costs money, right ? If I have to pay paypal in order to accept payment, I don’t think that’ll leave me with much and I only have 3 or 4 items I wanna sell. Any pointers you can offer will be much appreciated.
OK thanks all for your answers but no one is saying if I pay paypal for being able to accept paypal. I have no problem accepting money to my paypal account, just don’t wanna have to pay them hefty fees so that I can accept paypal. If I was doing this to sell items regularly, I can see paying for it but I just have few tech itmes like, hard drives, portable dvd player, software and stuff.
I could never accept personal check from a stranger anyhow.

You can always accept money orders/cashiers checks without using Paypal. But, paypal is very easy, not expensive and quicker than waiting on mail. No setup fees, etc. Just a certain percent of collected, like 2%. Check out the link below. Or, if it doesn’t work – paypal website.

how to find free and good drop-ship to sell on ebay?
how to find a good dorp ship
admin answers:
1- You can go to trade shows
2- You can review industry publications (for either featured articles on suppliers OR the adds paid for these publications by product sources)
3- You can contact the brands to see if they can alert you to authorized distributors.
4- You can go to http://inventorysource.com/ and create a free account and register (still free…and free for life, not just some 7 day trial) and get access to the verified wholesale drop ship supplier directory with the Inventory Browser Tool or the Supplier Info menu item to view the contact details and policies, etc.
However, you should look to sell on eBay, but you should also look at PriceGrabber, Amazon Marketplace, Amazon Seller Central, Shopping.com, JellyFish, and others. You can have custom files made for any of those services with the Inventory Source tools as well. eBay is not the onlye place you can list products for sale online and they might not be the best for some of your products compared to the rates at other marketplaces.
Thomas asks…
How do you use ebay? How do you sell things on that site?
I’ve never used ebay. My general questions are:
Is it free to use? How do you sell? If you sell, how does ebay collect their commission? How do you ship the product you sold?
Any answer will be greatly appreciated.
admin answers:
You pay 3 fees to eBay/Paypal.
Listing fees to list. These are non-refundable and you pay them even if the item doesn’t sell. These are added to your eBay invoice which is billed once a month.
Final Value fees. These are charged if you have a winner. Handled the same was as listing fees, though they can be a month later.
Paypal fees. these are paid as you receive money.
plan on 10% for fees.
I always shipped via the postal system. I also made sure I knew how much it would cost to ship BEFORE I listed the item for sale.
