Do you need Paypal for Ebay payments?

[stvndat]

Do i need to have a paypal connected to my Ebay? Why can't i just connect my regular debit/credit card and have customers pay me through that? i heard theres some protection but thats about it, please help.

You absolutely need a way to get paid, but sadly there are few, if any options aside from using PayPal.

Sure, eBay is going to be rolling out their own payment system for sellers called "Managed Payments" but it's by invite only at this time.

There is no other way but Paypal,eventually seller would not be able to accept payment with Paypal,it would all be managed payment ,estimate 2021,all sellers would migrate to MP.

You can specify local pickup,but you have to offer both Paypal and cash on delivery/pickup

how do you expect customers to pay your credit/debit card?
you need to apply for a merchant account to accept credit card payments,if you sell on your own website
