I just set up an account, but I don't know what to do. I want to sell a few things but I am not a business, just want to get rid of items I don't need. I want to list them on a facebook group site. do I need a business account and if not how do I do it.

You can sell on a personal account, you only need a business account if you are a registered business OR a high volume seller.

I suggest you read up on seller protection first so you can risk assess your transactions.

All your buyers need to pay is your paypal email address OR you can send them a paypal.me link if you have one.

The other way for them to pay is you get their email address and send them a money request.

You will pay a paypal fee per transaction so read up on that as well.

Be careful of scams, if in doubt come here and ask, and never send anything unless the funds are showing in your paypal balance.

You may be subject to the new seller hold when you first start selling, info in link below.

To withdraw funds from your paypal balance you would need to have a linked bank account or debit card.
