How Long to List on eBay Without Paying Fees

[alphaversa]

On one of my accounts I tried to see how long I could go without paying fees before they blocked me. I had it running about two months. What's the longest anyone has gone without paying fees before??

will they not pull money from paypal account after 90 days?

Yes two months is the best I can do without paying.

They can not take money from paypal if you do not authorize them.

what you must do is go into paypal and go to the pay list and cancel the agreement with paypal so they can't take any money from you. Also, eBay now shuts down accounts within 4-weeks of not paying your fees, which I have learned from 3 accounts.

There is a thread saying that you can go a year without paying fees. I think I have figured out the principle down of how it works, but I have not tried it yet.

from what I know it is in a 4 week period after your last bill date. They will try charging your credit card twice and if that fails I think you will get suspended shortly thereafter.

Question for those who have set and ebay account to automatically withdraw fees from paypal account. When you fees are due at the end of the month, like August 31st, ebay says that your paypal account will be charged between Sep 14th to the 17th. On the 15th ebay showed that the fees were paid. But my paypal has not been deducted for the fees. How long till it will be debited from my paypal balance?

I usually pay manually with credit card so never waited this long for it to actually get taken from my paypal. Also i ask because I would like just ditch this ebay and paypal account as it is being targeted by some deadbeat buyer who keeps buying my fixed price items with different names. I don't understand why a someone would waste time to do such things. I am sure he or she has more productive things to do. Thanks

use immediate payment for your fixed price items and monitor your listing for suspicious bidders and block them

It usually shows up on Paypal on the 17th or 18th. Don't know why it takes that long but it does.
