using pay pal outside of an ebay transaction

[dannyb]

I want to use paypal to sell something and would like the person to send me cash via pay pal. How do I do this? Cheers, Dan:thumb:

There's a tab called "Send money" I think. Just get them to send money to your Paypal username/email address.

they send you the money from there paypal account

Or you can log into paypal as normal via the website then click "request money" fill out the form with buyers details and away you go

You then have to withdraw it from your paypal account to your bank account.
Takes 4/5days for that.
And they charge you to accept money AND withdraw it..

They've never charged me for putting the money into my bank account?

[Stoo]

never charged me to withdraw to pay someone, or to pay my account balance into my bank account

charges me when i recieve money

You are ALWAYS charged for receiving money.
And charged to put it into your bank account if the amount of under ?50.

Its a proper ripoff tbh, no suprise there seeing as its owned by ebay, which is even more of a ripoff lol

Depends what account type you have.

Used to be people would have two accounts, one business account for buying/selling on ebay, and another private account for receiving money (which didn't charge you).
