Thinking about selling a few bottles on WineCommune. Anybody using paypal as a seller?

I'd be interested in your feedback.

No, I'm not going to sell here. I want to actually realize a profit....... Cool

I have sold a few bottles on WC and have always used PayPal. Never had any issues- very easy to use. I always add that the buyer pays the 3% fee.

Never a seller on WC, but often a buyer. As a buyer I prefer using Paypal for the transaction and will gladly pay the 3% for the convenience and security (just giving the other side of the coin).

Did you sign up for a business or personal account?

TIA.

I've used PayPal for years, buying and selling, never had a problem. I prefer it to personal checks and questionable money orders, not to mention snail-mail.

Yes. All the time. It works perfectly as long as the buyer and delivery details are in the same country. If not then you collect the delivery details and let Pay Pal be the checkout only. See how my site uses it below.

Personal. 99% of the time I am a buyer. I am not sure if there are requirements/criteria that would require you to choose one versus the other but if you are only selling onsie twosies I think personal would suffice.

I use it on winecommune and sometimes offer it for free on select lots to stimulate bidding.

A bit late to this, but Paypal has been great for me personally.
