Do you really need a VISA to sell things on Ebay? -

Is there any way to go around it?Why do they really need it?

No, you need a paypal account. There is no way around that. They tell you there is but both ebay and paypal are monopolies and telling someone that they can use other electronic means is like telling someone they can either go to Walmart or a lemonade stand.When you sign up for paypal they will act like they support credit cards but after they get you hooked, they will all but insist you use your bank account to fund it. From there you just pay ebay from paypal. It will be hard to use a Visa at that point. Paypal hates it when you use a credit card and the payment mechanism defaults to pay by bank account in a tricky way and you risk overdrawing your checking account if you do not pay close attention.

You don t necessarily need a visa to sell things on ebay. You do need a paypal account if you don t use a visa. You would then need a checking account. (which is all you need is a check card if you have a checking account you have a check card) (which is a visa) The paypal account is very helpful and free. but there are some small fees for the money part. I may be confusing you with so many different topics and things. But it is probably easier to have a visa to sell stuff on ebay. Just go open a checking account!!

no, you can use your atm card that has a visa or mastercard logo. they probably ask because for backup payment if your other payment fails. i use paypal that is connected to my atm card and then when i sell something, i can transfer the funds to my bank account.

Doesn t have to be Visa, It could be MC as well, or you can set up a Pay Pal Account.
