  Hi There,
  You can definitely set up a site to sell your accessories and set up PayPal to accept payments. Here is a link that can help with that:

  Also here is more information on the plans. A Premium or Business Plan would be best if you are running a business. The Business Plans has some SEO Tools offered as well that can help your rank in the search engines.

  Hope this helps,
  Thanks

  Hey,

  Thank you for replying! I had a look at the links and it only states that customers can pay through paypal and it doesnt say if they can pay through their cards or how much it costs?

  The business option doesnt actually state if it includes the option for customers to buy from your website.

  Sorry, its just really confusing.

  Best wishes,

  Rina

  Yes it would only be through PayPal. Lots of customers have their PayPal accounts set up though so that they can use either their bank account or credit card.

  Another option for you if you wanted a true ecommerce site would be to look into https://woocommerce.com
  It is a part of WordPress and may be more down the line of what you are looking to do. The site has lots of great info, it might be worth checking out!
  Thanks
