How do these hosting companys get paid when they create a hosting package on eBay?

For example:
500mb diskspace
15gb bandwidth
1 year for $60.00

If I was to buy it how would I pay them? Do they use PayPal. I prefer PayPal as not professional.

They can choose to accept any form of payment they want. Some Ebay sellers accept visa/mastercard the normal way, PayPal, check or even cash!

If you are looking at a hosting aution on Ebay, all the details should be posted with the auction. Standard Operating Procedure....

Yeah, make sure there's not any 'fine print'...

If I'm not mistaken, by the end of the auction the host will probably direct you to a special signup page where you pay them using the specified modes of payment. Typically it's either Paypal or a CC, since both are the most reliable methods of payment for a hosting service (to the host).

Either that, or they'll collect your details from you and bill you manually for the service.

It all depends on the host.

Just remember though - if the pricing is too good to be true, then it probably is.
