Ive bought loads of stuff on ebay using my C/Card through paypal, but have never sold.
Whats the procedure?
I want to use a different card to sell(debit),so the money goes straight into my bank,can i do this?

Yep think so - I use a debit card to sell. Just don't get caught out by the fake PayPal emails which you'll soon receive saying you need to update your details or your account will be stopped. They are extremely realistic but I did a bit of digging and they are hogwash.

yeah thats fine, I buy with a credit card, and when I sell it goes into a different account, payments will go into your paypal account then you transfer the money into any account you want, they charge if the transfer amount is under fifty pounds. I usually wait till I have got over £50 then transfer it into my bank account.
If you buy regular you can leave it in your paypal account and when you pay by paypal it will take it out of your paypal balance

Nice one,so the paypal account works like a bank account,the money can sit in there until you transfer it online into your bank account.

That's right, but don't leave it in too long, as paypal/ebay earn £££££s whilst other peoples money is lying dormant in THEIR account.
