My son is selling a clothing item. Someone wants to pay by paypal. If I set an account up does the person pay into the psypal account how do we access the money or does it go into a bank account

You link your bank account to the PayPal account and then when the person pays into the PayPal account you can either keep it there for the next time you want to use PayPal to pay for something or transfer it to your bank account.

If he is selling to someone he doesn't know they should really use goods and services. It gives both the buyer and seller added protection. If you use friends and family then there is no comeback if the item got lost in the post.

Yep! Easy option just to transfer it to his bank account - PayPal is just a third party holding account

Is it a minimum amount you can only transfer to ur account or any amount? Does it matter if I dont do online banking

You log into PayPal and pay ‘DS’ entering his details - unless they are there alreay and press pay

just be aware that as a brand new account ebay will hold the money for 21 days or till the buyer leaves feedback they do this with all new accounts so make sure he sends it to the buyer recorded delivery so you have a tracking number

Shows like this - obviously I can’t show anymore as I don’t have anything in there

Also be aware that's goods and services charges a small fee. It's the safest way though so try and factor that in to the price in future.
