First off, I posted this in non ski gabber instead of site discussion because i figured I would get a larger audience.  Now,  I have a paypal account but I dont understand how funds are transfered from account to account once you buy/sell something. How do you setup the transfer of funds with another person.

once you have decided on a price and everything you get the email adress they use for paypal. you go on your paypal home page, and near the top it says "send money." you go to that, and from there you chose the amount of money, and insert their adress. jea!

You have to connect your paypal account with your bank account if you don't have a credit card. Once they're connected you just get the other person's email address and go to Send Money in paypal. It's easy.

I'd recommend you withdraw some money from your bank account before you want to buy something though because it takes about a week to clear an E-check and it's a pain in the ass.

If you're asking where the money comes from, it comes from a credit card or bank account attached to your paypal account. If you're asking where it goes then it goes to the persons paypal account until they withdraw it or send it to someone else. www.paypalsucks.com for more info.

One last thing, do you guys wait for the money before you send the stuff out or just send it?

The money always goes first. It's easy(ier) to file a claim with paypal than it is to get your stuff back. Never ship anything until you have been payed.
