Any opinions would be appreciated. I don't know what you mean by a seller's Pay Pal Account. If you want to accept Credit Cards then you need a Premier/Business Acct. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-fees PayPal charges Premier and Business accounts to receive payments. Personal accounts are free, but may not receive debit or credit card payments. They have various fee schedules depending on what level of business you want to do with them https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-comparison FWIW I've had a Premier Acct for many years with PayPal and am completely satisfied. About 5yrs ago I had a fraudulent charge against my acct once I notified them they credited my acct right away also I've never had another fraudulent charge since. --+-- Wayne D.

[H] -OT- Paypal ?
Going to list some stuff on ebay, haven't done this in many years. I do have a paypal account but have never really used it ( once I think ) Paypal is asking me to *verify* with bank info, I hesitate. How does one receive money, never done this ? Is this necessary ? Still digging but figure the pack would be faster. :}) thanks Fred Paxia -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- All warranties expire upon payment of this invoice.

The assumption is only you can see the 2 small deposit amounts to tell them how much they deposited. Christopher Fisk -- Hey, you know what'd cheer you up?

They want you to do this for two reasons. They figure if you have a bank account you have been checked out, SSN, phone, etc, by the bank, and you are not just setting up the Paypal account for a fraudulent use. Second, because they can pull money, or put money in, directly from a bank account without paying credit card fees. Although, you always have the option of using a credit card from purchases. Remember, you are only charged by Paypal for sales. If you exceed 100 dollars in any one month you will have to set up a sellers account I was bothered by this years ago and set up a separate free checking account to handle these kinds of transactions, but I have never had any kind of problem. You will be surprised just how easy money transfers happens. Regardless of what your bank may tell you, any legal financial institution that has the right numbers, and is part of the international banking system can pull, or put money into any account. You won't need to sign anything or notify your bank. Is this necessary ? Still digging but figure the pack would be faster. :}) Paypal, which is owned by Ebay now, (which is a good thing) is absolutely necessary. You could insist that people send you a check or money order, but 95 percent will expect to use Ebay. Personally, I have to REALLY want something to go to the problem of sending a check, plus you have none of the protections of the credit card and or Paypal. You will alienate a lot of buyers if you insist on a check mailed to you. thanks Fred Paxia Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- All warranties expire upon payment of this invoice.

Re: [H] -OT- Paypal ?
Not really, if somebody wanted to pay for something with Paypal in a real business they would either use a Paypal Visa, which works like any other Visa, or they would have to log into Paypal, and initiate a money transfer to you ... I doubt anybody would do that. I just cancelled both my merchant credit card services and my check clearing services which was tied to my merchant credit card services.
