How Do I Set Up ECheques Payment?

[PJayBe]

I am using the webpage on my PC and have been advised to accept echeques on my personal account for some potential sales I will be making. When following the instructions to Seller Tools and getting paid, I cannot find a way to turn on receiving echeques. Can anybody help please?

You don't have to select it, an echeque is just a paypal payment funded from the buyers bank account.

The only way it becomes 'instant' so you don't have to wait for it to clear is if the buyer has a back up card linked to their paypal account as well.

If they do then paypal will pay you upfront and Paypal will wait for the processing bank transfer funds.

If the buyer does not have a back up card linked then you would take the wait.

Some sellers block echeques as they don't like to wait for them to clear but you aren't allowed to do so for ebay sales.

Many thanks.  If only everything in life was so simple!
