HI


Am very new to ebay, would like to know the followings:

1) Inorder to list an item, isn't COMPULSORY to key in the credit card no.?

2) If we do not use any themes or any additional options, we WILL NOT be charge?

3) Can we choose to only sell locally? Transfer via internet banking or COD only?

4) If sell international, do we have to pay a fee?

5) Does paypal link to our local DBS/POSB?

Many thanks in advance, appreciate any inputs.

Cheers

1. Yes, needed as it presumes that there might be times when you might use some listings that need to pay fees. Anyway, I believe it is pretty secure.

2. No listing charge if you do not use certain features that incur fees.

3. If you log on ebay.com.sg, you will be restricted to sell locally. When you log on ebay.com, then you will be selling internationally.

If selling locally, can just make payment mode by transfer thru' ATM, internet or COD. But for internationally, paypal is usually the main mode of payment as Ebay and Paypal are inter-connected. Most buyers n sellers also prefer payment by Paypal.

4. At the moment, selling locally, no charge. But selling internationally, you will be charged a fee if you manage to sell your item.

5. Paypal can be linked to only credit card n debit card.

Sorry, I am usually long-winded one :lol:

No you're not. Infact, thanks for your clear & concise info . My main concern was no. 1 and ain't sure if it's secure

Btw, how is the market at ebay.com.sg, heard from some that is very slow, isn't true :roll:

You are right but it also depends on what you sell n how much you plan to sell. To get a feel of whether you item will sell, you just do a search on your item others are selling or sold on Ebay to have a rough qauge. God bless

You will b charged a listing fee if u list your item internationally, this will b charge irregardless if it gets sold or not. If someone bought your item, you will b charged a final value fee.


You can transfer your paypal money to local bank. The money will b converted to SGD. The exchange rate is bad though. So when u do list items internationally, do factor in the exchange rate.

At the moment, Ebay allows one to list his/her items a certain nos. of times with free insert fee so there will not be any charges.

Did you indicate COD or internet transfer as your mode of payment? When someone win the bid, an invoice will be sent to your Ebay account. Just click the INVOICE box and just click to send the invoice as it is Ebay procedure. Just make sure the buyer has paid by internet transfer beofore you deliver. If COD, then one hand takes money, the other hand gives item lor. When all done, click payment received and give your feedback. :celebrate:

Hi kiasimom,


Sounds like you need to verify your paypal account. To verify paypal account in Singapore, you can either:
1) link and confirm your credit card with PayPal; OR
2) link and confirm your bank account with PayPal through the eBay listing process

check out this link:

Also, if you are already verified, you have to link your PayPal account to eBay account. See this:

Hope this helps!
