Going to list something on ebay for the first time and i had a question about Paypal. Do I need to set anything up in order to receive money from buyers? I have a regular account that I use to send money but I have never sold anything so I havent had to worry about this issue.

Go to your PayPal page and look for Profile.... then look on the right for Selling Preferences.... then choose auctions..

From there you will see how to enable PayPal preferred.

I dont know if you need to do anything separately on your eBay auction...been a while since I sold there... but if I remember correctly, when you list, there should be something in one of the pages that enables automatic PayPal payments.

one thing to watch out for is if you have a paypal logo in your auction, it will say credit card payments accepted regardless of your account type.

I have a premier account, so I should be able to take cc payments.
