How do you pay for items that you buy on eBay without using PayPal?

Answer 1

The most usual method to use for paying your eBay fees would be direct from your PayPal account.

However you could alternatively have the fees charged to your credit card, or to your bank account via Direct Debit, or you can choose to mail in a cheque if you wish.

Answer 2

The simplest way is to pay through PayPal. You can do that either by registering your credit card with PayPal or by making a one-off payment using your card.

You need to check what the seller says on the listing that you want to buy from; it might be that the seller is also willing to accept payment by another means, for example by check or money order.

Never assume anthing. If in doubt always ask the seller how they would like to be paid before you even think about placing a bid on their item.

Answer 3

I think you have to open a PayPal account before you can buy or sell anything on eBay now. I have used PayPal almost from their beginning and never had a problem. They have many secure features.

Answer 4

You would have to purchase from a seller that accepts alternative methods of payment. Some sellers only accept Paypal only.
