When you sell a item on eBay you get paid in Paypal cash (kinda like a online bank). Some accounts have a 21 day hold (i made 3 accounts and one didn't have a hold so you could do that if you want). The money goes right into your Paypal so their is no collecting. When someone buys from you and you send the item ask them for feedback (once they get the item). The more positive feedback you get, the more buyers you get (trust me).

The buyer pays you through Paypal. New sellers have a 21-day hold on funds in Paypal. When the money becomes available in your Paypal account, you can have Paypal send you a check or transfer it to your bank account.

You open a paypal account

all earnings go into that account

you can add or pull from that account at any time

No.no.no you are so wrong matt what you do is if you haave a credit card then xou would give them the pin and everything u buy goes out of the card.

I've looked on ebays website, and it says something about having to sell so many items, or so much worth before being able to be collected or something. also something about positive feedback. But what exactly do I need to do before I can actually collect my ebay profit?
