Answers:
I have been an Ebay seller/buyer for many years. My understanding is that you require a credit card or bank account if you plan to use Paypal. If you are accepting check or money orders only, then you can sell on Ebay without any type of credit card.

Good Luck!

Step 1: Become an eBay seller.

To begin selling on eBay, you need to register and create a seller’s account. To register as a seller, click the “Sell” link at the top of any eBay page, and then click the Sell Your Item button or learn about registration and creating a seller's account.

PayPal is the preferred payment method for most eBay buyers and sellers. Consider signing up for PayPal, eBay’s global online payment system before listing your first item. When buyers use PayPal to pay for your item, you receive payments immediately and don’t need to handle checks or money orders.

Note: You will not be able to sell items on eBay if you have a private Feedback Profile. If you’ve chosen to make your Feedback Profile private, you’ll need to make it public before you can list an item.

Step 2: Prepare to sell your item.

Preparation helps you sell your item. Before you start to list your item, doing some research, especially about setting a starting price, will help you list accurately and efficiently. Find similar items on eBay and note the selling price and how they were listed. Your research will help you make better decisions about selecting selling formats, pricing, shipping, and payment methods. To help prepare for listing your item, see the Seller’s Checklist.

There are certain items that may not be sold on eBay. To avoid breaking eBay rules and the law, check eBay’s prohibited items policies to be sure your item is permitted.

Step 3: List your item for sale.

To list your item on eBay, you need to provide information about your item. Information in a typical listing includes a title, description, price, payment method, shipping cost, and a photo. eBay’s Sell Your Item form guides you through the steps to a successful item listing.

Step 4: Manage your listing

You can track your eBay activities from My eBay. This page is especially useful if you have more than one item for sale or if you are selling and bidding on several items. My eBay's All Selling page lets you see the status of items you're selling from start to finish and manage your sales from a central location.

Step 5: Complete the sale

At the end of a successful listing, you'll receive an email from eBay that includes your buyer's shipping address and payment method. Once you receive online payment confirmation from PayPal or a check or money order from your buyer, you can ship your item. Leaving feedback for your buyer after you complete the sale is optional, but it is an important part of participating in the eBay Community and will help you establish your reputation as a seller.
They don't care, the numbers are of the same format and if the money is there, they will accept it just the same.
I would be careful though, E-Bay is a very expensive outfit.
I lost $300.00 due to their paid service and following their advice.
It is very hard to get good bids there and E-Bay tries to eat all that up and more if you will pay them!
