Question about UK Ebay acc
 

Is it possible to buy a UK Account and dont use the CC?
For US Accounts a CC is necessary but im not sure about the UK Account.
For example in German ebay accs its possible to advertise an article with Bankinformation and after 30 days eBay will deduct the charges/fees from the Bankaccount.

You can add a bank to a UK account. But it needs to be a UK or US bank.

Ideally you don't want fees to go from your bank. You want it to deduct from your PayPal balance.

U sure about that it must be a UK or US Bank for a UK Ebay acc?
Cuz i want to go to ebay.de with a uk acc and maybe than its possible to use a german bank acc.
Maybe i have to take the risk, buy a acc and try it.

Yes i know but in my case its better that ebay take the fees from the bank acc.
(They need 30 days for that and i dont need the ebay acc for a longer time)

You cant add a german bank to a UK PayPal as far as i'm aware. Feel free to call PayPal and ask.

You can connect a German paypal to eBay UK.

It is better for you if you leave balance in paypal for ebay to collect fees.

Thanks for ur answers.
But can i add a german bank to a UK Ebay acc?
On ebay.de (with a de/german ebay acc) its possible to add a german bank acc, its no need to add paypal or cc.
But I'm not sure if that works with an UK acc

Oh I see what you mean.

Yes you should be able to add a bank account on eBay direct to pay fees.

I'm not sure if a german bank account will work on a UK account.

Where do you plan to receive funds from sales? you'll need a paypal account for that anyway. PayPal is a mandatory payment option.

Okay sounds good.
Than i have to give it a try and hope its working with uk acc aswell.

On Ebay Germany u have several options to receive the money.
Listing your Articel without Shipping allowed payment receive via Cash (without put ur paypal or bank informations for receiving the money).
Listing your Articel with Shipping allowed payment receive via Bank transfer.
But yes you right, on ebay US a paypal acc is necessary to reveice payments.
