1. you must master paypal, read about it.
2. Ebay offers plenty of advice for how to sell your stuff on there website. Please refer to http://www.ebay.com for further help probably.
3. Paypal s the easiest way for international transactn
4. The best way is to establish a PayPal account--EBay will tell you how to do this. It's the safest way so you don't get ripped off. But if you are just selling one or two items, you can accept a money order, cashier's check, or personal check. Just wait 'till the personal check has cleared the bank (about 7 days) to be assured that it's good. The money order and cashier's check is as good as cash--if it was issued by a bank or other well-known establishment. Then and only then do you ship the item.
5. PAYPAL is the Only way to go. The money is sent to PAYPAL and then you get the money from them. You don't send the item until PayPal instructs you to do so. They don't pay you the money until you have sent the item.
6. paypal is the best way to go, they will only charge you a couple of cents to receive a payment from the buyer and the money will be there for sure. If you apply for a paypal business card you will be able to take money out from the card or buy in any store that takes master card and no credit check is needed only a bank account. Money orders are good to but you have to deposit them in your bank account or get them cashed and to do that you need two proofs of ID. Never take personal checks it takes to long to clear and you will get a higher chance of getting a bounced check. Like I said go with paypal its easy and your money will be secure.
7. Money order/Cashier Check - also referred to as certified funds. Works the same as cash. They have to pay cash for them before they send them to you and you just deposit them into your bank account. The key is that you don't have to wait for them to clear. As an independant seller, I like certified funds. I don't want to mess with pay pal and don't want to have to wait for a personal check to clear (and incur costs if it bounces). Wait until you get the money before you send the product out - also make it clear in your ad that this is how you intend to do it.
8. open a paypal account , ive bought and sold items on ebay for the past 3 yrs or so and have always used paypal rarely do i get a check. Paypal is fast simple, and they back you up if there was any fraud in the part of the buyer, so once you have been paid there are no worries about getting that money taken away! =)
9. Paypal has worked well for me. Give it a try.
