    Basic questions about eBay and paypal...

    Hey

    I was thinking about joining eBay, but I had a few questions first.

    1st question: if I'm just looking to buy on eBay but not sell, do I still have to pay fees?

    2nd question: what exactly is paypal? I have looked at the paypal website but it said error whenever I clicked on a link. That was a few days ago btw, so it's probably fixed now, but I'd prefer someone on here to explain it so I don't get confused lol

    thanks in advance

    Cheers
    Andrew

    1. No.
    2. PayPal is the service, owned by eBay, that is used for sending online payments for all purchases on eBay. You can link your PayPal account to your bank account and/or credit card to send payments for purchases made on eBay, SCF, and many other online sites. Fantastic tool

    you don't have to pay any fees to buy.

    Paypal is just just a quick way to pay, usually linked to a bank account or credit card in order to transfur money.

    Oh btw you get 2% back of any purchase on ebay, paid by paypal...

    Like buy a 100$ card, you get 2$ back, after 3 months you get a certificate that can be applied to any purchase, last time i had 60$, pretty sweeet

    So no fees for you, and you get money back!!!!


    Paypal is awesome my friend, best tool ever, low fees,and to buy its perfect!!!

    SAFER than you shippping money
