Best way to pay Ebay fees

anderman · #1 10-28-2014

Hi Guys

I know this has been discussed but I also know things change quickly. What is the best way to pay ebay fees. I was thinking of keeping enough in paypal to pay the fees when ebay tries to collect them? I've seen the sticky on keeping paypal empty and paying with a prepaid card but its 4 years ago and a lot has changed since. Any advice?

I've always payed my fees out of my PayPal balance. Never encountered a single problem. Just always make sure there's enough in to cover the fees.

I use a PayPal mostly to pay my fees. If i ever get caught short I will use Entropay to make a 1 off payment for the difference.

Same here. Paypal is easiest to pay fees with as long as you make sure you have enough of a balance in the account to cover the fees.
In addition paypal 'likes' to see a balance in the account at all times so it serves that purpose as well.

I pay in advance with gift cards and entropay.

I have an entropay with a pos balance attached but thanks for the replies guys I think I will just go ahead with my plan to cover the fees with the balance.

Rather than wait for the monthly direct debit I pay my fees every few days manually.

That way I can keep in control of what I owe and how much is in my paypal.

Paypal is the easiest way. Make sure there's enough money in account to pay the fees

Maybe easiest but there are reasons why to avoid automatic dips...

Never a need to let paypal touch your bank account.

Using gift cards, vcc is MUCH better for control of business.

About time you started reading the forum to learn more.

I still adhere to that sticky.

Why?

Hell is going to freeze over before I let those bar stewards at paypal touch my bank account, and therefore my money.

Works well for me.

I enjoy sticking it to paypal too
