How to Use PayPal in Escrow

1. Ask the other party in your transaction if he is located in the United States. To be able to use PayPal in the transaction, both the seller and the buyer must be in the United States.
2. Agree on a price no greater than $5,000 for the transaction. If the price exceeds $5,000, you usually cannot use PayPal for the transaction.
3. Buy something that must be shipped via a trackable method. PayPal cannot be used in the transaction for items that are not being shipped or that are not trackable, even if they are being shipped.
4. Click on 'PayPal' as your payment method on the transaction screen. The money is taken directly from your PayPal account and put into the escrow account for the transaction.
