Using PayPal though e-mail for eBay Payments

[Snugglytiger]

Hi, I'm new here & have looked through your wonderful forum for the last 3 hours, but still haven't found the answer to my questions. I figured you would be the right people to ask, since you all seem to know eBay & Paypal so well.

#1 - Can I sell something on eBay but have the Buyer send the payment to my friend's Paypal account?

#2 - Would it work if I write the buyer an e-mail saying to send Paypal payment to my friend's PP e-mail account?

I've sold stuff on ebay before, but always just took money orders or cashier checks for payment. However this time I need the money fast & don't wanna wait 3-7 (or more) business days for a MO or CC to arrive.

Please answer me back as soon as you can. Thanks

It's not a good idea.

If you want more detail, I seriously recommend you purchase the eBay Stealth ebook.
