Important: If you offer PayPal as a payment option on eBay (either using logos or text in the item description) you must accept all forms of PayPal payment including account balance, bank account transfer, and credit cards. You must have a Premier or Business PayPal account – or be willing to upgrade from a Personal PayPal account to a Premier or Business account – if you receive a credit card payment. You may not communicate to eBay buyers that you will only accept specific forms of PayPal payment (see the PayPal Payments Policy).

Updating or correcting your PayPal email address on eBay

Each time you sell an item on eBay, you'll be asked which PayPal email address you'd like to use to receive payment. You can change it or leave it the same as the last item you sold. You can see the email address in the "Decide how you'd like to be paid" section in the Sell Your Item form.
