I just had a look, ..you can go to: My eBay > Account > Seller Account, and scroll down to “Payment methods for Seller Fees” and it will tell you if you have it setup, ..or let you make an one time payment ahead of time.

assuming you do not happen to owe eBay lots of money you do not want to give them, …yes, ..but you could remove your card form PayPal, ..but of course if you use your paypal account for other things this is pretty annoying. I guess just login to eBay one more time and check your payment setting and make sure it is begging you to add auto payments ;) ..then you know they are off :)

In theory yes, ..if you eBay account and PayPal are already connected then if you remove all funding sources like cards and bank accounts, then it will take money from your available balance if there is any.
Having said that I have been 100% a consumer recently and not done much selling for about a year, .but this weekend will be going on a big christmas pre-sell, …so will update this article if i find out anything new :)

So, I had an old bank account attached to Paypal which, when I got charged by Ebay, did not work as the account no longer exists. I have been using Greendot Moneypaks to add funds to my Paypal account to make purchases due to my overall distrust of banks. I recently have been selling on Ebay, hence the charge, and my question is, is there a way to pay my Ebay seller fees with the balence on currently on my Paypal account? It would seem like this would be a valid option as it would avoid overdraft bank fees and would, on paper, be easier for Ebay to collect as they own Paypal. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Ebay want you to contact them now before they do it… But you can cancel it within Paypal!
Loved this article :)

Thanks so much for this! I wish they would break down the invoice too so you could see why they’ve taken this money! SO confusing.

Whilst it is annoying that eBay charge seller fees, they do run a business and i think you miss the point of this post which is the way in which they now insist on taking these fees under their terms.
As for eBay itself, if you do not like the way they do business there are many many other way in which you can sell your goods and just not use them and save yourself the hassle.
I think eBay is great, it is the free market (even if it is regulated and comes at a cost). And you are a free individual, so whilst I appreciate you are annoyed at fees, …would you have solde your camer for $296 anywhere else with such ease?
Smile, go outside, breathe some air.

Ebay is nothing but a bunch of thieves. They will take % when you get paid by Paypal, and then after a month or so, when you forget what you sold, you’re gonna get a massive bill from Ebay. Just sold a camera lens for £360. Got £350 into Paypal. Then a month later I get invoive for $56 on top of that. These yank theives should be sued and go bankrupt
