Selling is simple with PayPal.
Get the low down on what’s in it for you:

Protect your sales

PayPal Seller Protection is available to protect you in the unlikely event of a claim or chargeback arising from a buyer dispute or an unauthorised payment (eg from a stolen credit card). To make a claim you'll need to have proof of shipment so make sure you use a postage method that provides this if you want to make use of Seller Protection.

Get paid fast

Funds can appear in your account seconds after your items are sold.

• You must offer PayPal on all your listings, along with any other permitted payment methods you choose.
• For a small number of categories (eg vehicles, services, real estate, businesses) there are some exceptions.
• Buyers can now pay with Visa or MasterCard for a limited number of transactions without needing a PayPal account. The transaction will still be processed by PayPal so they can benefit from buyer protection and greater security.
• You can still list items for sale if you don't have a PayPal account, but you'll need to open an account to collect your funds. Save time and sign up now.
