What type of paypal account should I use? ? ?

No. You can only send payment to another PayPal account.

I've no experience of using netella. My first thought would still be no but I could be wrong. Hopefully someone else can clarify.

If you had a sum in your PayPal account less than £50 and you wanted to withdraw it, could you avoid paying fees by first making a deposit into your own account to take the balance over £50?

This would work for a basic account as there are no fees. However it wouldn't work with a premier account where there would be a fee for receiving money.

But you'd only pay 3.5% on the amount you sold your item for, right? You wouldn't pay on the amount you deposited, and you wouldn't pay to withdraw it all?

I know you're only saving 25p, but hey, 25p is 25p!

Oh I see, you mean physically fund the paypal account by setting up a debit mandate and adding funds direct from your personal bank account? That might work, but it would take days, is it worth it? I'm not even sure if you can do that either as I thought that ebay pulled funds up when you bought something rather than had people add funds to paypal then pay.

Maybe someone else will know the answer.
