What am I meant to do with listings I can't accept payment for !!! HELP!

[creig.krist]

I just found out that apparently I can't accept payments on my paypal because it's not a buisness account (Thanks for not saying that anywhere, eBay!!!)

I have listings that have now had bids on them that are due to sell tomorrow only to find out I can't actually accept payment for them.

I was led to believe PayPal was the safe option for accepting payments from buyers, so I selected this as the only method of payment.

Do I have to cancel all these listings now, since the buyers won't be able to pay me at all?!

What am I supposed to do?!

Apparently after talking to ebay customer service, I may use a personal account to accept payments 🙂

I think you had better check that with paypal....ebay CS is notorious for getting it wrong.

Ring paypal and let them tell you what account you need.

Just upgrade your Paypal account to 'Premier'. Otherwise you will be limited as to how many payments will be processed.

It is free and easy. And, no, it doesn't require you to be registered as a business or have an ABN.
