Yes, as soon as you've opened your PayPal account, you can use it to buy (or send money). There are initially sending and receiving limits on your PayPal account and when you hit one or other of these limits, your account will be temporarily put on hold until you become verified. You also need to become verified before you can withdraw money from your PayPal account to your bank account. So although there is no immediate rush to become verified as soon as you set up your PayPal account, it is no bad thing to consider doing it soon afterwards as it does take a few days to complete the process.

How do I claim the money for my eBay sales from my PayPal account?

When a buyer pays you with PayPal, the money (less the PayPal fee) goes into your PayPal account. From there, you can either use the funds to pay for your own online purchases (assuming that the seller accepts PayPal), or you can draw the money down into your own bank account. To withdraw the money, log into PayPal and use the Withdraw tab and you can then select how much you want to transfer to your bank account. Once initiated, it takes a few days for the money to arrive. If you aren't already "PayPal verified", you'll need to go through this process before you can withdraw any funds and you'll find information on how to become verified once you log into your PayPal account.


Is a bank account needed to start a PayPal account?

No, you don't have to have a bank account to open a PayPal account, but unless you do have one, you can't become "PayPal Verified". Your PayPal account will initially have sending and receiving limits and to lift these limits (and withdraw any money), you need to register your bank account details to your PayPal account. You can also use a Visa credit card to send and receive payments.

What form of payment is accepted from overseas buyers?

That's up to you, but I would say that there isn't an acceptable form of payment. There are just too many scam artists. There is always the option of a verified PayPal account, though I would wait for the funds to be transferred to my bank account before I'd ship it.


PayPal transfered my funds from my pp account into my bank account asked me to verify that PayPal made two small deposits into my bank and i cannot remember what i had in my account before?

If you have online banking, sign in to your bank account and look at recent transactions. It will show "paypal deposit" and it is usually less than $0.25 for each amount. Once you find those, go back to paypal and verify the account by confirming the amount of each deposit.

Who will send me the money from the paypal claim?

I bought a digital good from seller. I sent money - 2.100 CZK via my Debit Card, but everything was a big scam! I didn't recieve anything. The seller after recieved a money DELETED his account on PayPal and DELETED his email on gmail.com. I opened a dispute and thru message center I sent message to seller, but his account not exist. This seller is scammer... This scammer resend my money (before deleting account) to another account (to accomplice). PayPal claim is now in "Awaiting other party's response" .. As we know, seller deleted his account, so PayPal does not get the answer. 2 days rest to end of claim and PayPal send my money back to my account.... BUT my question is: Paypal will take money from a non-existing account (seller) or from the account of the accomplice to whom the money was forwarded? Thank you :) R.


Do you have to ship before you get paid on eBay?

Whether you have to deliver goods before receiving payment into your PayPal account very much depends on the circumstances.When you log into your PayPal account and see that you have funds "on hold", then yes, you need to send the goods to your buyer and when your buyer is happy, PayPal will release the funds to you.Otherwise, never send out goods until the money is in your PayPal account and the transaction shows as "completed".If you receive emails telling you that you need to send out goods and then PayPal will provide you with a tracking number after the goods have been sent, this is a scam. PayPal do not send out such emails and any such messages you receive are spoofs.If in doubt about any email you receive purporting to be from PayPal, forward it tospoof@paypal.comand they will get back to you within a day to confirm whether nor not the message genuinely came from them. You can also find that email address by logging into your PayPal account and selecting Help, then Contact Us.
