How do you get paid on ebay?
... If you ever wondered why your item didn't sell, did you verify what kind of payment method you chose? I highly recommend PayPal as the first method. More and more people use paypal for electronic funds transfer. Either directly from your checking account or from a credit card - it makes the payment easy, fast and secure.
Sign up for PayPal here:
If you're a seller, you will be charged a very small fee for the money transfered to you by buyer, buyer does not pay fees. There are no set-up or monthly fees with PayPal. You could also use ESCROW service. Ebay recommends escrow.com, I never tried it though. It is similar to Paypal. The problem is the number of fake/scam escrow sites, which will take your money or/and your personal information and never transfer any money.
Western Union, MoneyGram is also an option. Although NOT SECURE and if you BUY an item and pay by these methods - seller might not send you the item. EBay will not reimburse you, since they have no way of verifying.
I also suggest accepting Money Orders, Certified Checks... make a not that the item will only be sent when the check clears.
If you feel comfortable with meeting strangers, you could also offer local pick-up with hard cash.
