Why get paid with PayPal?

Get your money faster

If you get paid by cheque or postal order, it's a long wait before you actually receive your money. Buyers can pay you instantly with PayPal so to avoid the wait, simply list your items as PayPal-only payment.

Score higher with buyers

Faster payment means you can deliver items sooner and aim for a higher feedback score. Research* has shown that when sellers are paid with PayPal, they get a higher average Detailed Seller Rating (DSR) than when they're paid by cheque or other payment methods.

Sell safely with seller protection

When you get paid with PayPal, you can get full protection^ for your eBay sales so that you're covered against claims, chargebacks or unauthorised transactions. Learn more about seller protection.
