Ebay and Pay Pal/Fees

[UseR4574875]

Hi, I want to sell some books via ebay and it says payments will be received via pay pal (this is how you will be paid) - I thought pay pal was no longer being used? I think I have closed my pay pal account. If so, what fees will apply? My understanding was 10% of sold item in fees but pay pal will incur fees I think (in terms of receiving payment). There was mention of a new system of paying fees into your bank account. I am slightly confused.

Anyone?

If you are on eBay managed payments (you'll know as.you will have had loads of messages about it) then you don't need a PayPal account. Otherwise you need a PayPal account to sell on there.

Thanks delilah. What is the managed payments options about? Which method is the most beneficial? I have never sold on-line before so this is all new to me. I guess paypal will charge fees?

I think I have found some info. Basically 12.8% + 30 p is my understanding.

I don't know the fees for private sellers as I have a business account but you won't get to choose which is most beneficial as managed payments is being enforced.
