Right, so as you guys know from this: http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92139
I am trying to buy a new phone…yea.
So anyway, for that, I need dat monnezz. So I am trying to sell my old phone: Xperia X10 http://www.sonymobile.com/us/products/phones/xperia-x10/

So basically, I need to know how. Right now, I don't have my debit card linked to my PayPal (Lost it, cancelled and ordered a new one.) so how would I sell it?

So far, if I go through all the processes and choose PayPal in the end, it still asks me to link it with a card.

Is there no way to Sell an Item on ebay with just a paypal account? Its not like I am paying, so…

Let the help begin! (please :p)

I'd sell on kijiji, or whatever you have in new jersey. Or on ebay if you can get that working, I don't know how to.

You can always give them a call asking them for the routing number if that's what you call it/ need it.

i don't think you can buy/sell without a verified paypal. you could buy a one time use prepaid credit card at CVS or something and register your paypal with that i think but am not sure so don't go by only me!

Hold up, I verified my PayPal once (had the info and card then) but I removed the card a week ago from PayPal (Cause I lost it :p)
Does that Un-Verify it?

I'm not an eBay/ paypal expert but I think it does un-verify it.

Not that I know of. You can also try calling paypal for more information.

Dammit, so frustrating! Ill do it tomorrow, probably find my check book then…

Next Question!!!

How does the shipping work? Say I have the item, and I go through all the options for selling and shipping (package by UPS), then what? Do I buy the package, put it in, and go to the UPS Store? Or would they come?

Helpezz :(

Idk the answer to this since I've never send/sell something.
But let say you sold something. The transaction will then go through and it will offer to print a label for shipment. You will print it out and be expected to have a box. You put the item inside, close it, tape the label on box and take it to UPS. Or you could make a pickup appointment at their site but idk if it's free of charge.

Hmm…That makes sense.
Damn, so much to do, just to sell a phone, which might not even sell!

Do anyone you guys know how to set a reserved price on ebay?

Idk exactly but I'm guessing when you are putting the item info, you can put a reserved price aswell.

uhm you can meet in person but usually you just ship it after you confirm that they've payed.

I've never shipped anything, but I believe this is how it goes:

After payment comes, you will be given an option on paypal to print a shipping label for the package. Print that, attach it somehow to the outside of your package, then buy appropriate stamps(Your postal office can assist you with a box, and stamps).

These do make sense^^^
Thanks guys!
If I have anymore questions, Ill post on this.

Adding a poll, you'll see.

I voted no, if we were to make a big Q&A thread, it should be started fresh, not sprout from a question thread. You can start one, just not on this thread. :)

Silentcore

2012-11-13 20:14:54

Make a fresh new thread. Make sure to include my answers.

@Footy and Silent- Wordd

@Mike, A little late bro, but thanks anyway :)

I think since I already started the poll, might as well let it run :p At the end though, if there are more Yes's, I will keep this. It would probably be easier too, with the help of a Mod.

Maybe you could make a Paypal/ebay tutorial! You could show how to get your paypal verified, and everything like that. :)

Rezozo

2012-11-13 22:50:58

Hmm, I think I already saw something like that here. Idk :p
And I don't know that much about ebay. Only just started to get interested in selling.

The reason that they need your card to be linked on your account is because they charge your listing fee to your card, it's a security measure to make sure they get their money.

Rezozo I verified my paypal account when I was 15, :P
There are a lot of ways you can verify a pp account without credit card information.
I'd be willing to share just PM me. (Unless this method is not allowed)
