Open a separate checking account to just run your ebay business, never use your own checking account.

I accept Checks, money orders and paypal.

That way no matter what happens it doesn't interfere with my regular checking account.

I can always withdraw my profit and deposit in my checking account.

My freind didn't do this and EBAY froze his account because of a compaint and he couldn't pay his bills or access his money.

If you want people to bid on your stuff, you really need to take Paypal, with a premier account so you can accept credit cards. It'll cost about 3.5% of whatever you're paid, but 96.5% of something is a lot better than 100% of nothing.

There are direct and indirect costs. Paypal charges about a 4% fee for money collected but it's easy, quick and safe. A Check doesn't cost anything, but it takes time and time is money. Those are indirect costs.

check, only disadvantage is that it can delay the process of getting paid. with paypal, the amount is credited to your account as soon as the buyer pays.

Pay Pal it is secured and reliable.
