If you have a personal account, there are no fees (except $.50 to withdraw money to your bank account). However, with that, you cannot receive credit card payments and are limited to something like $500 per month in payments. For what you are talking about, that may not be a big deal, but for more expensive items, I've found that you'll get more interest and sometimes higher bids if you can accept credit cards. If you upgrade to a Premier account, you lose those restrictions, but then PayPal dings you for about 3.9% on each payment, even if it's a cash transfer. It sucks that the rate isn't lower for cash payments, but anyway, those are your options. When someone wants to pay you by PayPal, you just give them the email address you registered under at PayPal. If you set it up in your eBay account, you won't have to do anything when the auction ends -- the buyer just clicks on the Pay button and they are taken to a PayPal page. I have accounts with PayPal and HyperWallet, and always list both in all my auctions and swap list posts, and I've never once had anyone want to pay with HW. -- Michael -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
