If you already have a PayPal account, you can accept PayPal payments from eBay buyers for eBay items. You can also use PayPal to automatically pay your eBay seller fees.

Downloading your PayPal account history

Your PayPal account history contains detailed information about all of your transactions, including payments sent, payments received, withdrawals, money requests, and more. You can download your PayPal account history into a file that can be used with Quicken, QuickBooks, and most common spreadsheet and database applications. Visit the PayPal Help Center to learn more about downloading your PayPal account history.

Becoming PayPal Verified

Being Verified means you have completed the required steps to confirm your identity with PayPal. Because verification increases the security of the PayPal network, once you are Verified you are able to:

• Raise your sending and withdrawal limits

• Increase credibility with sellers and buyers

• List items in other markets

Important:To list an item on a different eBay site from which you initially registered, you may need to be PayPal Verified andhave your eBay account linked to your PayPal account. For more information on making items available to buyers in other countries, see About Selling Internationally.

To become PayPal Verified if you have a PayPal account, log in to PayPaland select the PayPal Verified logo.

If you do not have a PayPal account, you can become Verified as part of the registration sign up process.

Note: As part of the Verification process, U.S. members must add and confirm a bank account. For more information about requirements, visit the PayPal Help Center for more information about PayPal Verification.

Upgrading to a Premier or Business Account

You can use a Personal account to send money to friends and relatives and to purchase items online when PayPal is offered. If you earn money by selling items online, you should use a Premier or Business account (see Selling with PayPal).

PayPal Business Accounts allow you to conduct transactions under a company or group name. Premier Accounts allow you to conduct transactions under your personal name. The fees and features for Premier and Business Accounts are the same. When you upgrade your account, all transaction records and history from your Personal Account will be retained.

To upgrade your current PayPal Personal Account to a Business or Premier Account, go to PayPal and click on the “Sign up” link.

Visit the PayPal Help Center to learn more about Business or Premier Accounts.

• View your PayPal account history

Once you have closed your account, all of your outstanding transactions will be cancelled immediately. Your remaining account balance, if any, will be mailed to you.
