Alternatives to a credit card on ebay for selling?

[swbluto]

I know ebay wants a credit card on file for returns and fees and the such, but is there a way to avoid this for sellers? Like, would a bank-account verified paypal suffice? Does the paypal need both a bank account and credit card on file? Or is a credit-card-verified paypal all that's necessary(Would paypal be verified with just a credit card?)? Trying to figure out the most cost effective way to setup multiple seller accounts.

I don't ever recall putting a CC on file with Ebay, all you need is a Gift Card with PayPal. The whole Ebay + CC hasn't been in use for a while now.

Oh, it just seemed like that since ebay was really complaining when my credit card on file expired (Was unable to create new listings until I placed a CC on file.). I guess having a CC on file with paypal is all that's needed? Huh, I never knew that.

from my personal experience all you need is a credit card for paypal to verify it, nothing else is required necessarily, you don't even need a credit card for eBay.
You can use a credit card to verify your paypal account, which is mandatory before you start selling otherwise you might get 0/0 selling limits.

you may pay ur fees by paypal,i have been doing it for almost 8 years now on all of my accounts

You can use a credit card to start selling on eBay, but eventually eBay will ask to have a verified PayPal attached to begin selling in certain categories.

We have ran into that issue several times when we use a credit card as a funding option rather than PayPal with the credit card on the account.
