Could someone simplify what will happen to Paypal payments please

Hello, I'm not a business.  I buy and sell here and there.  I prefer Paypal and when I sell I use Buy it Now.  My average balance in my Paypal account is around the £100 mark.  Now when I have to change to this new payment method with everything going through Ebay not Paypal, if someone pays me by Paypal I presume it will no longer go into my Paypal account and I'll have to physicially move it myself from my bank account so I have enough in there for when I purchase something?  Am I right?  Sorry to sound stupid, in my 60s and the videos I havge watched don't seem to mention what happens when people pay you by Paypal. Thank you

We have no choice but to use ebay managed payments.

Ebay will take  payment off the buyers and take all fees off and then put the remainder in your bank account.

There are more options now for the buyer to pay but paypal is one of them but it will go to ebay and not to your paypal account

 

Paypal is entirely seperate so if you want to buy anything you can still buy pay by paypal .

If you like the money to go from your paypal account rather than your bank account then you would have to put the money into paypal 

If you dont have money in paypal then it will go from the bank account you have on paypal
