Sell on ebay using paypal without account
 

Is it possible to sell on ebay and for your money to go to your paypal without any bank account attached to the paypal

Re: Sell on ebay using paypal without account
 

No you will be able to list 5 items before they ask you to verify your paypal by adding bank
bank is vital for ebay

What is a purpose to not add a Bank account in the first place? From my past previous experiences it has always best to have a fully verified PayPal across-the-board too attached to your ebay account before even attempting to list anything

How are you going to withdraw your money then. It's like saying can I run a car without fuel. Eventually the PayPal will get limited you need to add the bank account at some stage sooner rather than later

I ran a paypal account without a bank account for quite a while here in the UK. Although you can't withdraw your funds ( if you want to do that you can make a gift payment to a friend who has paypal) you can use the funds to purchase Ebay items or from retailers who accept paypal.

Nothing like running a car without fuel.
Paypal without bank works fine for a time - but ultimately you do need a bank account

It is because the bank account will be ready in 7 days, And I wouldn't like to wait

Why is it take so long for bank account? I get mine the same day when created...

i had one account without a bank now for a year and a half, just use the account to buy and sell

Nothing wrong with selling on Ebay without a bank, although having a bank attached is the ultimate convenience. So many ways to spend Paypal money, pay the rent, buy a flight, etc

@sax4, not all of us globetrot like you do :thumb:

Re: Sell on ebay using paypal without account
 

Yes. It is not something that lasts long term because controls are put on your selling endeavours.

You need to decide on your business plan carefully.


Did you apply online for a bank account and are waiting for the paperwork?

Electric cars are a variation of fuel ;)

Over here in the UK bit different on that one rsot, when I opened my last account which was Barclays, the account apparently got opened the same day that I went into the bank but I had to wait a week for the appointment to go in to see them to do that. I was given the account number and sort code that day, but had to wait longer to get the online banking pin code, telephone banking pin code and for the actual visa debit card to arrive and then few more days for the pin code for that debit card.

That's never happened to me before ? :confused:

When did this happen to you ??

Re: Sell on ebay using paypal without account
 

Never happened to me either

Re: Sell on ebay using paypal without account
 

You don't need a verified account in the UK if for example if it's not your main account and you sell a few items per month on it.

Re: Sell on ebay using paypal without account
 

Nor me....

Re: Sell on ebay using paypal without account
 

I've seen over and over on here people recommending not use this method of cashout.

Can anybody confirm that it's safe to do?

Re: Sell on ebay using paypal without account
 

Bad method sending money between PayPal's, so many horror stories listed on the forums

Re: Sell on ebay using paypal without account
 

If you are referring to the gift payments then you can do it but not too many, pp get suspicious of accounts recieving too many gifts. But other methods are fine

Re: Sell on ebay using paypal without account
 

:mod: Share the stories with me, I like horror..

I mean, if you happen to find a thread on the subject I'll like to read it.
