Paying e-bay fees?

Hi could someone help with this query please.

I need to pay my first lot of e-bay fees soon and on my account it says that I have got automatic payment set up from my credit card. I definitely don't want to do this and would prefer to use a debit card, however there is no option for this - the equivalent seems to be pay from my bank account.

I don't use Paypal or anything like that and I guess I am wary of giving e-bay my bank account details. Am I worrying over nothing and if I give them my bank account details is it a good method to pay my fees by? It says they will then set up a DDR to take payment. Is this what most people do?

I'd appreciate some advice on this, thanks.

    You can always pay by cheque :confused: You have to click onto the one time payment method and print of the invoice page.
  • I paid by Direct Debit for years before I got my Paypal account, no problems at all with either method of payment.
