Buying and selling on eBay?

[Mark]

1) your buying and selling details are basically the same, but you can have various different emails and addresses on your account. any info you put in is assigned to your account, but is not separate for buying or selling.

2) if you want to sell on eBay UK I'm pretty sure that accepting paypal is mandatory (it was last time I sold anything on there). So unless I'm mistaken, you will have to set-up a paypal account.

You can buy without a paypal account - but I don't understand why you would. To me, sending a cheque is much more hassle than setting up a paypal account. But each to their own I guess.
