Getting The Most Out of Your PayPal Account

If you are an eBay user then you know that there is no way around using PayPal. PayPal basically owns you, and your eBay account. They control what you sell, how you sell it, and when you get your money that you have earned from selling. 

No matter what you do or how you look at it PayPal is in control. In a way, you kind of work for eBay and PayPal. You really do not have near as much control over your business as you think when dealing with eBay and PayPal.

Considering the fact that you have no choice in the matter, I suggest that you get the most out of your PayPal account as long as you are being forced to use it. PayPal has a few special features that I would like to talk about in this article. Having a PayPal account can have its perks, and it is your right to take full advantage of every single one of them. If you are going to be an eBay seller, you need to know everything about both eBay and PayPal.

The first feature I want to talk about is the PayPal debit card. This is single handedly the one feature that makes PayPal halfway decent in my eyes. If I did not have the PayPal debit card I do not know what I would do. I rarely use my bank account to withdrawal my money from my PayPal account. Every single day I go to the closest ATM and take out all of the money that is in my PayPal account. 

If you have read my article about not losing money with PayPal then you know why. If you have not read it, then do it as soon as possible. It is nice to be able to have my money in my hand right after I sell an item. If I make 100 dollars on eBay, I can get that hundred dollars the minute it enters my PayPal account with my PayPal debit card. That is by far my favorite feature that PayPal offers, and it costs nothing to get the debit card.

The next feature that I like about PayPal is the credit card. The PayPal credit card is nice because I never have to worry about keeping money in my PayPal account for eBay fees, or for items I may want to purchase on eBay. 

I can easily just use my PayPal credit card just as if it were cash in my account. Since I do not like to keep my money in my PayPal account, this is very useful. The card offers good rates, and offers some good bonuses.

Whatever it may be, I highly recommend taking full advantage of anything special that PayPal offers. You do not have any other options when you are talking about payments on eBay. PayPal really is the only way to go, like it or not. 

If I could use a different payment process I would, but since I can't I make sure to take advantage of whatever PayPal offers.
