PayPal Payments Policy

Sellers who offer PayPal as a payment option on eBay (either using logos or text in the item description) must accept all forms of PayPal payment, including account balance, bank account transfer, and credit cards. Sellers must have a Premier or Business PayPal Account or be willing to upgrade from a Personal PayPal Account to a Premier or Business Account if sellers receive a credit card payment. Sellers may not communicate to buyers that they accept, or will not accept, specific forms of PayPal payment

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

  • Listing cancellation

  • Forfeiture of eBay fees on cancelled listings

  • Limits on account privileges

  • Loss of PowerSeller status

  • Account suspension

.

Some Examples

Listings Allowed:

  • “I accept all forms of PayPal payment"

  • “I only accept PayPal if the bid amount is greater than $15”
