Why pay with PayPal

Pay faster and get your items sooner

Sellers usually only post to buyers once they get paid, so paying by cheque or postal order can delay delivery time. Pay instantly with PayPal and you can receive your items faster. You can even use the eBay app to pay for items with PayPal on your mobile.

Keep your financial details under wraps

One of the safest things about PayPal is that your payment details are never shared with the seller. When you pay by cheque or even by card, you reveal your sort code, bank account or card number. With PayPal the seller only sees your email and delivery address.

Shop at ease with buyer protection

When you pay with PayPal you can get full protection* for your eBay purchases. So you can shop with confidence knowing that if you have any problems with your item, you can get a full refund for your purchase* (including postage). Learn more about buyer protection
