Burning Question: Ever Use PayPal as a Seller Selling Something?
(so how does it work exactly???)

do they transfer money into your bank account? how exactly do you get paid when a buyer buys something from you and pays for it with paypal?

(i'm not doing this myself. i'm just asking for a "friend". honest!)

1. You can get a debit card through them and spend right off it
it's easier than transfering the money to your bank account.

2. my "friend" said his paypal is telling him that even tho the buyer
has paid the transaction is "pending" and he doesn't understand what that means--if there is a waiting period, is he suppose to do something?

any more help you can give me to pass onto him would be appreciated

(this was from selling something on ebay, by the way or if that even matters)

3. I assume it means the payment hasn't cleared yet
Probably depends on where the buyer pulled the money from.

6. Pending transactions are usually of the e-check variety
they take several days to clear just like a real check.

4. They transfer into your Paypal account
From there you can bank it, or spend it
