I want to sign up for an eBay affiliate account, but as far as I know, they only seem to pay out via PayPal. Is that right? Because eBay owns PayPal anyway.
When you want to sign up for a paypal account, which do you choose for the purpose of being an affiliate? Personal, Premier, or business? I'm thinking personal, but I need to be sure.
For hubpages, a personal account will be fine, but it limits you to $500 a month in and out (which will be very hard on hubpages)
I'm currently trying to work out if Ebay is worth it on my hubs, I've noticed a drop in my adsense clicks since adding Ebay and amazon and yet I have had no clicks on either! In terms of them paying you, I was under the impression it was Paypal or check. Its a shame Adsense doesn't pay through Paypal too.
Ebay also pays out via direct deposit. You don't have to have a paypal account.
Even with a personal account you can still accept more than $500 a month, and typically it's just $500 worth of cash sent to you from someone using a credit card not an instant payment from an affiliate or an individual sending you money via their checking account. I know I accepted well over $500 this month from other people (not affiliates) and it took until I had received $500 via credit card and they forced my to upgrade before I could accept the last payment, but you can get it changed back to personal even after that. I downgraded this morning after having to upgrade yesterday.

I'm not kidding. I'm already in my sunset and I mean business. I need honest-to-goodness answers. I'm really confused. Can I open more than one pay pal account? Is the pay pal account not enough without a credit card? Can one of these documents mot stand without...

When does HubPages pay a person? How exactly does it work?I have 50 plus dollars, I'm just wondering how all this works or how they pay you - I'm new to the whole process and am excited to actually have earned something from my writing.

Hey there! It looks like my PayPal account was disabled unexpectedly. I was wondering if there’s another way I can receive my commissions—maybe through Wise or another option? Or would I need to cancel my Hubpages account because of this?

Why is PayPal the only method of payment? I had problems with my PayPal account and had to close it. I know from reading the forum questions other people are not able to have PayPal accounts where they live. Why is there no other option for people who can't use PayPal?
