To all the traders, provide me with some ebay tips and tricks.

I am gonna be connecting my bank account to it or maybe it is better off with pay pal cash as i am not gonna be using this account often.

Thanks
 
Ask your bank or credit union to open a new checking/savings account and use it only for Paypal transactions.
 
Is there anyway to make ~300usd purchase on ebay w/o paypal.

The sh*t wants me to have bank account/ SSN to verify me. Are there ways to pay w/o this non sense?
 
You are at the mercy of the seller and the forms of payment they accept. If they are PayPal only then either get a PayPal account or don't buy from them.

Or shop local and pay with cash. You act like PayPal is some newcomer to the world of online commerce. It's pretty much everywhere.
 
Also make sure you use just one E-mail for PayPal, your bank, etc. That's what I do to keep the BS spam and hacking crap to a minimum.
 
I've had a Paypal account for a super long time, never really had any issues. Though it really depends on who you deal with. With Paypal if someone pays you money for any product/service they can do a chargeback at will no questions asked by Paypal. So you need to deal with people/organizations you figure you can trust. I think they have 45 days to do a charge back.

Idealy I would not do any large transactions with Paypal, keep it to under a few hundred dollars at most. At least as a seller. As a buyer I don't think there's any risk.
 
I just had a chargeback done to me about a month ago from a purchase that was from Oct 2015, it was just past the 6 month mark. Needless to say, after filing my evidence and statements, I still loss my side and am out $140. Thanks PayPal. There is virtually no time limit with PayPal. I use to be a big fan and heavy user of their service.

Scammers are also everywhere, do you trust them with access to your bank account?
 
There is info. at PayPal's website on how to avoid charge backs. I would heed that Info. It's the least you could do and may help.

Wtf that's insane. There nothing you can do?
 
Nope. It's why a lot of people dropped ebay and PayPal or just became a buyer and not a seller. Sellers get the shaft at eBay.
