Selling / payment concerns

[683281]

Although I have been a member of ebay for several years, I have not sold anything to date.

I have spoken with others who say I should be concerned about fraudulent buyers and not receiving funds from ebay for items that actually sell.

I have read the commission and selling fee information. What I would like to know is about safely completing auctions with assurance of receiving the appropriate funds.

I have a Zelle account but no other app such as paypal.  Can funds be directed into a Zelle account?

Also, I have been warned about buyers submitting fraudulent claims causing debits to my account.

I would hope that ebay has safeguard against such unscrupulous activity?

I welcome all insight from the experienced "ebayers".

Thank you for the reply and you input. I was not concerned about ebay stealing any funds but I have been warned about fraudulent buyers who make false claims about the condition or none receipt of their item. Apparently from what others have stated, paypal is the only way to receive payment for successful sales so I would need to set up an account.

No, you can't be paid through Pay Pal.

Those are really beautiful. Good luck to you selling them off. If you have a Twitter account you may want to put them on there and tag them to the #CatholicTwitter crowd. Every little bit helps.

I have made them for years as well but go more for sturdiness than aesthetics. What I didn't sell over the years I donated to the St. Vincent DePaul Society when I downsized last year. I gave them religious jewelry too, so they found a good home.

LOL, you would be amazed at some of the people and things I encounter selling what I sell.

I know I'm not who you directed that comment at, but while I would be amazed at some of them, I'm sure, I doubt I'd be surprised anymore!  Both people and things!  I've run into a lot of both, for better or worse.
