Choose how to receive payment

When a buyer purchases one of your items on eBay, how you get paid will depend on the payment methods you offer and which one the buyer chooses at checkout.

Buyers can choose several ways to pay, including by credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and PayPal Credit as well as their eBay balance.

It’s increasingly uncommon for buyers to want to pay via cheque or postal order, but you can still choose whether you want to accept them as payment methods or not. 

If a buyer chooses to pay by cheque or postal order, they will post it to you as payment after the sale is confirmed. Once you receive the cheque or postal order, pay it into your bank account and only post the item once you have confirmed that the funds have cleared.
