I am a long time Ebay Seller and a Buyer. It was very very long time ago. I haven't been used it but I am still active Ebay user thought.

A long time ago I sold stuff and received money order in the mail from the buyers. Right now, Ebay no longer allowed it, right ? Only Paypal (I sitll have paypal) or your bank account ? I want to know before i am reeturning to sell the stuff I want to sold on Ebay.

I doubt money orders are much of a thing anymore. Iirc, it's either credit, debit, or PayPal. There's also the ebay credit, so I don't think it's any tangible method.

I read the PAYPAL. They can send check to you. Here:

  1. Go to Wallet.
  2. Click Transfer Money.
  3. Click Request a check by mail (fee applies).
  4. Enter the amount you want to transfer (the minimum is $1.51 USD).
  5. Click Next.
  6. Review your transfer details, then click Request (amount) Now.
  7. Click Done.
If you requested your money via check, you should receive it in the mail within 10 business days.

IS that correct ? After someone sent money to PAYPAL and I can request a check by mail instead of transfer to my bank account (I dont want to)?

They don't allow payment method outside of ebay processing the payment.

I see. I check Ebay information:

When you sell on eBay, we’ll automatically add the ways your buyers can pay at checkout.


Your buyers will be able to pay safely and securely with credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal and complete their entire transaction on eBay, with the option to save and store their payment information for future use. When your buyer pays with any of these payment methods, both you and the buyer are covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee.


Depending on the category, and on the country you’re selling in, you may also choose to accept the following additional payment methods:

  • Checks
  • Money orders
And Money orders are the best way.

Here:

Can I pay with money order on eBay?


In addition to paying with credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, buyers can also pay with checks, money orders, and cash on pickup in certain categories.

I am confused. Here:

What is the policy?​

The following payment methods are not allowed:

  • Sending cash through the mail
  • Point-to-point cash transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram
Direct contact information can only be exchanged after eBay checkout is complete. This includes asking buyers to get in touch with details of alternative payment methods.

The following payment methods are offered at eBay checkout:

  • PayPal
  • PayPal Credit
  • Credit card or debit card
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • Spendable funds
  • Payment upon pickup
  • Wire transfer facilitated by eBay (select categories only)
  • eBay gift card or eBay voucher or eBay Bucks
Listings in some categories may offer the following additional payment options:

  • Bank-to-bank transfers (also known as bank wire transfers and bank cash transfers)
  • Checks
  • Money orders
  • Online payment services (for example, Escrow.com, Allpay.net, CertaPay, Fiserv, Nochex.com, XOOM)
Available payment options may vary depending on the item price, listing category, and the buyer's device.
