[AT] Selling parts on Ebay

[Spencer Yost]

As Cecil is mentioning, and as I learned earlier last year, you can’t sell without providing the bank information.   You can still buy with PayPal and other stuff but you can’t sell.

Like I said I had a whole bunch of concerns regarding bank account information. So that’s why I set up a separate savings account that is used strictly for eBay fees and buyer payments.

I suspect I use PayPal several times a month not only for eBay transactions but other commercial transactions and often private transactions between individuals(PayPal Friends and Family)  usually buying antique tractor parts.  I have my account set up to charge my credit card automatically when I buy something so I get another 30 days of float and the normal protections that a Credit Card purchase offers.  For Friends and family transactions to avoid the Seller PayPal fees one has to have that paid directly out oi the checking account.  At one time I had a separate checking account set up for ebay/PayPal but my bank started charging me for that account even though I had a more than adequate balance in an another  account.   So I just abandoned that.  That was probably over 10 years ago.  I don't know how big a risk I'm taking but it
