How do I use Paypal.com to sell?

Hi:





I posted something on Craigslist to sell, and someone is willing to buy. The problem is that he lives far away, so he suggested me to use paypal. I%26#039;ve never tried paypal, so I don%26#039;t know how to use it. Basically what I need is his money, and I%26#039;ll send my goods to him. How do I do this?





Thank you!!!

You%26#039;d need to sign up for a PayPal account. To do this you%26#039;ll need to give them either your bank (checking account) information or your credit card information.





Once you have your account set up, anyone can pay you money simply by going to PayPal and giving them your email address. It keeps your personal information private.





If you don%26#039;t want to take the time to set up the PayPal account for this transaction, have your buyer go to the Post Office and get a postal money order. You can cash it at your Post Office, and then send out the merchandise.





I would be hesitant of accepting a personal check or even a bank check from any buyer. Craigslist is full of frauds and scammers.

paypal also charges a fee to transfer the money from your paypal account to your bank account and it takes about 4 days to transfer..I dont know that you really want to wait that long. it might cost him a little more but he could always western union the money to you.
