New to selling on eBay and have questions

[crprocter]

Hello, 

I have used PayPal for many purchases such as on eBay.  I want to learn how to sell items on eBay and have buyers pay through PayPal.

What do I need to do first?  Do I need to open a separate PayPal Business account in order to accept payments on PayPal?

Thanks!

Carol

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

All you need to do is make sure you imput the correct paypal email address in the payments section in the paypal box during the listing process.

Make sure you read up on seller protection on both Ebay and Paypal.
