Ebay fee payment?
 

Should I set Paypal, My Simon.com debit card , or my new Bank account as Ebay Fee payment source?

Welcome to the forum!

Use your Simon card for the fees. Never use paypal or your bank.Why? Because if anything goes wrong, ebay will still try to pull the money from either paypal/bank account. The card works better.:peace:

Greenie, thanks for the welcome and thanks for the answer!!

One more... should I link my Paypal account to my Ebay account in Ebay? Is it required to sell?

Ahh, here's the catch. Certain categories require a linked paypal.... clothing, high risk items, cell phones, ipods etc.

Now, I read your set-up post: I see you 'realize' that you can have paypal listed but not necessarily use it ;) Advantage of having it there is that it looks like you use paypal ;)

I will be selling toys and movie replicas. I dont think that is high risk so I should be okay?
Yes I have it listed , but I am intending to put in Checkout instructions to wait for my email with payment instructions

^^^'Movie Replicas' might be problematic. At the very least, consider getting some FB b4 you list. 'Fresh untried accounts' can be flagged.

Also fyi this is the best thread about ebay fees:

It is a practice that is used very successfully.:peace:

I will read that link but I wanted to share something. I just entering my Simon card for fee payments and got a message saying that " Sorry, prepaid cards can't be used for identity confirmation. Please use a valid credit or debit card."
what to do now?

Yes that is correct, Simon cards cannot be used to create an ebay seller account. You can use a VCC to turn it into a seller account. GreenBean was referring to paying fees with the card not using it to setup a seller account.
