hi everybody,
just a quick one,
i have sold a vehicle on ebay, for just a few pounds shy of £500, i have already been in touch with the buyer, who asked if he could put the money into my paypal account today, and pick it up tomorrow. However, is there a charge for putting a certain amount of cash into your paypal account? i was told there may be? i had a quick peek for answers in my paypal account, and tried to log onto their forum, but it took forever to set up.....also doesnt help that im not particulary savvy with this kind of jargon....
anyway, if anyone could give me some info, it would be gratefully received.
thanks

As far as I am aware, you cannot add somone elses card details to your account - so for him to add the money would be in the form of a PayPal transfer. Fees will apply - I would suggest you get him to pay the fees if hat is his preferred method of payment.

^That. If you use PayPal you are risking loosing the money and the car. Only accept cash on collection.0
