As a bidder buyer you'll receive an email from the eBay seller explaining how to pay the seller or collect from the buyer. Most buyers and sellers use PayPal but there are other payment and collection methods available .... PayPal is safe, fast, easy and free way to pay for items and you'll be protected up to $500 on qualified listings through PayPal Buyer Protection. Many buyers and sellers also accept payment by bank wire transfer, check or money order. After payment has been cleared, sellers ship the item to the winning bidder. It's that easy!
