What is something like ebay that will ship worldwide and not need PayPal?

If i sell something on ebay do i recieve the money before i ship the item ?

  • If i sell something on ebay do i receive the money before i ship the item ? I'm selling a computer on ebay and i'm offering free shipping on it but i need the money from selling the computer in order to ship it for free first, i know paypal makes you wait a couple days to transfer the money to your bank account so i was just wondering how all this works, thanks

  • Answer:

    Yes, the seller usually waits until the money is safely in their account before shipping. There are also many varieties of scams that work around this - they try and pay with a fake or hacked Paypal account, they pay using a forged cashier's check, etc. I am sure you are aware of these - if not, get familiar with them real fast!

Do not ship until you have your money; my wife does a lot of ebay and she thinks it's 3 days before you receive money.

Yes you do to prove to paypal and ebay that you are a legit seller. Especially if your new it will take up to 90 days before they trust you because you have to show some kind of effort to be active for 90 days in their eyes. After the 90 days then you will be freed up of alot of their restrictions they place on new users.
