    Do you mean that you haven't linked your eBay account with PayPal?

    I dont think so. I just put that paypal logo on ebay via paypal account. It said i can do it, i had to enter my ebay username and password.

    Thats all! is that enough?

    Yep seems about right. That implies that eBay and PayPal are now linked.

    Now i need abit of help. Sorry about this but I kinda need your assistance. Im putting up a table for sale on ebay right now, all the fees come up to £10ish, because of pictures, gallery etc. Will ebay take that money even if the table doesnt sell?

    Yes, whether your items sells or not you still have to pay the eBay listing fees.

    Is there no way that you could reduce the listing fees e.g. use an alternative picture hosting service other than eBay's e.t.c

    Have you a high starting price, reserve or something?

    OK. Ill say it anyway dont matter. My starting price is around £200 and reserve is around £400. Should i just do a starting price and forget reserve. Basically, start my starting price around £400 which was my reserve?? £10 is quite abit of money considering the item mite not even sell.

    Also, do Ebay take the fee immediatly? and how do they do that? can i select the method because all I see if acocunt info buit does not say how ebay will take my money, either credit card/paypal or bank account.

    Thanks for your help. Much appreciated!!!!!

    If you want to cut down your listing fees then start your auction at the lowest price that you would be willing to accept and remove the reserve price. Saving yourself £7.99!

    eBay don't take the fees immediately. The fees accumulate over a month and then eBay send you an invoice to pay your seller fees.
