Setting Up Automatic Payment Error

[noahsnyder007]

Hey there everyone! 

I sell things on eBay from time to time, and recently tried doing so. However, I received a message saying I needed to setup an automatic payment file before I sell anything on eBay. I chose to do this through PayPal, but after I sign in I get an error message. It says, "Feature not available at this time." Basically, I get an error when trying to setup an automatic payment through Paypal.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Anyone else having this problem? 

*I'm also on a student account and have tried setting this up numerous times throughout the day. Even on differnct computers*

You need either a Premier or Business Account.

But I've sold things on this account before and never had a problem. However, if I were to make a new account would I do a premier or business one? I just sell a couple of old things laying around to make a few extra dollars every few months. It's nothing major.

As long as you're 18 or older, a Premier Account would work fine for your needs.  Premier Accounts are intended for people who sell occasionally and are not a registered business.  Keep in mind that in order to use your PayPal Account as intended, you will need both a bank account and credit card, both must be in your name.  This will allow you to verify your PayPal Account and make setting up an eBay Seller's Account (if desired) much easier.
