    Has anyone found that not accepting paypal hinders the chances of items being sold on ebay? Im debating whether to sign up with them because of the costs involved, what do you rekon?

    I believe eBay insist you accept Paypal as one of your methods of payment, so its a must if your gonna be selling on eBay!

    Hi,
    Depending on the type of PAYPAL account you may find you have to pay to receive money into it :mad::mad::mad::mad: I do pinecone research but don't have payment into paypal as it costs me & they only pay a few quid for the surveys. I take papypal for Fleabay as I have no choice:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: as is the case with most people.:mad::mad::mad:
  • I have had 10 ratings of my reviews but not got dooyoo miles for each rating, does anyone know whats this about? Cheers

    Hi

    I'd like to take this challenge! I don't actually have a spare £100 right now, but will be trying to make £1000 from £10. I am moving and my loft is rammed, yet I haven't used most of the stuff for the 3 years plus I have lived here :rolleyes: so am figuring that will be a good place to start......once I've got rid of some of that I will hopefully have some capital to then get stuck in properly. I am going to break it down in my diary to make £20 per week and keep a tally each week of whether I am up/down.

    Great thread....looking forward to the challenge! :D

    Pinecone is now sent as a gift, so you don't have to pay. :beer:
    Same with Topcashback and HarrisPoll.
    Can't remember if Lightspeed are sent as payments (which you have to pay for.)
    I know that Quidco used to be, but can't say if they are now.

    For the person who asked: Ebay does require paypal, and if you refuse you will probably be reported and your account closed.
    You will sell so much more if you take it anyway.
    Just always post to the address that shows on paypal, get a certificate of postage, and anything over £39 make sure you send via something more than normal post (Special Delivery or courier).

    Paypal is pretty easy if you are just getting paid from cashback/surveys etc.
    Although, as I said, make sure you lift your limits. (It will explain how to do this :) )


    Forgot to say, this might be handy for some on here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2169871 (although the ebay guide linked to is out of date in some areas)
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine
    :kisses2: Fiancee of the "lovely" DaveAshton :kisses2:
    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    oooh, lots of new joiners - this is going to be great !:jWell done to everyone joining - I've found
    skintbint - the lady at our local car boot makes £1000 each Sunday on selling cupcakes and slices of fudge cake etc.. So I think your idea is FANTASTIC !!!
    I was just wondering the lady you know that sells the cakes etc at the car boot, do you know if you have or that she has to have special licensing etc or is it just bake and go? I make a lot of unusual things and constantly make and give away to friends and family, would be nice to sell them instead and I love the car boot idea!

    Lightspeed payments are sent as gifts too. Quidco normally pays into my bank account. So I normally receive the full amount. :o
