Pay seller's fees on ebay without using a credit card?

[balletpot]

I've registered as a seller on ebay but not started selling. When I registered they wanted me to add a credit card to my paypal. However, I don't want to use my physical credit card online. My bank offers a service called e-card. An e-card only exists online, you decide when it will expire and you decide how much money is on it. You get a new number and CVC code for each card you make. If the information gets stolen you can easily close the card.


I hadn't used an e-card on paypal (or paypal for that matter) for a couple of years when I was about to do so a year ago. It didn't work. So I linked my paypal with my bank account instead and payed that way.


The question is: Can the seller's fees on ebay be payed without using a credit card and instead by using the money transferred to paypal via your bank account?

I make sure I leave enough money in my Paypal account from sales to cover all my fee's at the end of the month.  So it is never taken out of my bank account it is taken straight from Paypal.  So yes you can pay without using your credit card or bank account, just make sure to leave enough funds in your account to cover it once a month.

Thanks. Guess they wanted me to add a credit card for backup then.

Yes I think thats it ^^    - like Ponylady said, you can pay the fees without using a credit card as long as you have enough monies in the Paypal account or bank account to cover the fees
