I never realized that they take out a feeChat Icon And it's not a low fee either.

Do you think it is worth it to go through paypal for ebay items you are selling?

Re: Do you think it's worth accepting paypal for ebay?

YES,as a seller by using paypal you are protected - you can't get scammed with a bounced check or someting like that.
As a buyer, I would not buy from someone who did not go through paypal, so you might lose many potential buyers if you do not accept paypal for payment. Paypal also allows buyers to use credit cards to pay you.

definitely! it is the most trustworthy source of payment IMO. that is the only payment method I accept.

I usually tack on a few extra dollars for shipping in order to cover the listing and paypal fees.

Re: Do you think it's worth accepting paypal for ebay?

As a buyer, I bought a couple of things with a money order and I was a bit uncomfortable, because I thought "what if I never get the item?" I did not want to send a personal check with my bank acct. info on it. I'll just buy from someone else.

As a seller, I wouldn't do it any other way. I don't have the time or patience to wait for someone's check to clear.

the good thing with paypal is they will back you up with a dispute.

my brother puchased a PSP on ebay and the description said BRAND NEW. when he got it it was clearly used.

we got our money back minus shipping.
