Ebay and PayPal Personal Account

2600:

Has anyone here sold something on ebay with a PayPal Personal Account?

I just have one or two items I want to sell, but am not sure if there is any rules against it.  I can't find anything that says explicitly you can't, but swear I've read about people who tried and got their auction closed.  Just curious what others are doing in this situation.

hypernova:

Is personal the one where you can't accept credit card based payments?  If so, Peale's stated numerous times that they aren't allowed anymore.  Gotta have a business account (or whatever is the step above personal.)

2600:

Thanks.  I knew someone had said it, but couldn't find the disclaimer on the PayPal site.

So, do others with a Personal Account just accept Money Orders?

hypernova:

Usually.  And if you want the potential headaches, personal checks.  But that could end up costing you if the thing bounces.

crashwg:

I don't sell a whole lotta stuff but every time I do I check the "accept paypal" button and put a note in the auction or in the payment terms that I will not accept credit card payments.

None of my auctions have gotten pulled nor have I been warned or any such thing.

I'd say go for it, worst that will happen is they'll pull the auction and warn you...
