If you send payment with a credit card you will be protected by the credit card company, the seller will be paid quickly and you will receive your item fast.
PayPal provides sellers with many benefits. Its merchant services allow you to accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover cards. On eBay, PayPal is the most widely accepted payment method and buyers look for it and trust it. PayPal also offers up to $5000 fraud protection, end of auction notifications, printing invoices, printing shipping labels, foreign currency conversion, and package tracking.
PayPal does charge sellers for all these conveniences. A transaction fee of $.30 + 1.9% to 2.9% of the total transaction is standard. Make sure to take these charges into account when selling on eBay!
