hey dudes and dudettes
i wanna flog some stuff on ebay but HOW!?
im not 18 - so dont have a card i can use to sell stuff with - so how do i do it? ive heard that you can pay the fees via cheque? how do u do this? do you need to contact ebay and set it up? or just pop a cheque to ebay in the post?
thanks everyone :)
You can make a one time payment, after each sale using a card, it does not have to be your own, you could use a parents or a friends and just give them the money. You can pay by cheque and I think you can even pay your eBay accout bill with PO's. I would guess that when you get your accout bill you just send off the cheque with your account deatils and that's it.
Have you checked out PayPal? I think you might be able to enter your bank account info and get the payments sent directly there.
I've not signed-up or used it myself.
I assume you have a bank account and a cash card, preferably a debit card.
Check out Payl at www.ebay.com - seller - how to - Paypal.
what i do now is get a mate to list it for me , and then pay him the fee but its really annoying to do, plus hes a right n00b and his net NEVER works, so he dont answer questions and ppl lose interest
whats this one time payment? do you mean just pay once at the end of the month ? instead of paying for each auction coming straight from debit card?
also, can you pay it via paypal? that would be handy
anyone pay by cheque or paypal here that can help ?:(
if you go into my ebay/accounts you can pay the fees by paypal there ;)
Yes you can pay your account bill with paypal. How the one time payment works is, you don't need a card registered to your account, when you get your bill each month you just fill in a online form and send the payment that way.
sounds good, i jsut tried and it said my account hasnt been created?
ive beenregged for a year or so :p
i get this on one off payment screen
Your account has not been created
Your eBay account has not been activated yet. Accounts are not accessible until an actual debit or credit has first been posted to the account, even though you may have already filled out our account creation form. This message confirms to you that you have no credit or debit balance at this time.
Have you ever sold anything through your account yet? If not then you will not yet have a bill to settle and therefor you can't yet make a payment.
nope i havnt - do i have to sell something? im worried if i do i cant make payment as i dont have a credit card.
will i be able to pay by paypal or cheque if i sell something first?
Make a payment or receive payment?
Or are you talking about a payment to Ebay for the service?
Also, do you have a debit card/your own bank account?
Go to www.paypal.com. Accounts are free and don't require a credit card.
Galant, yeah you do if you want to send money... You have to verify your card; they make two small payments from your account and you have to tell them the amounts, these get refunded.
i know, ive got one, and an ebay one, i want to sell something, but ive got no way of paying the fees they charge , can i definutly do it via paypal?
whats the one off payment u need to make? is this what you click when you pay your bill? or do you need to make a one off payment first to allow you to use it, im all confused sory :(
u can also pay by solo and switch now :)
not if your under 18
how :p
this is really peeing me off now, im joining the ebay hate crew without even joining properly
WTF is a one time payment?
where they hell do i go to register a solo card?
I though you had to be 18 anyway, as its auctioning which is a type of gambling.
So they ask for a credit card number anyway, just to confirm that you are actually 18.
Must be wrong then :(
some one told me u can sign up with a solo card
liars !
You have to be 18 to get a seller's account :(
Get a parent to let you use their details?
my mates 17 and hes signed up with his own card ! proper annoyin , my mom doesnt trust them :(
I signed up when i was 17 with my own hsbc solo card. It does work :)Quote:

registered as a seller but i cba its too much hassle
eBay requires you use a credit or debit card to sign up if you use a free e-mail address such as Hotmail or Yahoo. That is the only reason I can think of that it is saying the acount isn't activated, as you don't need one normally.
