Sending Payments with PayPal
PayPal is the preferred payment method for most eBay buyers and sellers. PayPal enables you to send payments quickly and securely online using a credit card or bank account. You can also check the status of your payment. PayPal payments are protected for the full transaction price under the PayPal Buyer Protection Programme.
Before you can send a payment using PayPal:
