Can I just have a bank account to use ebay?

Question

Can I just have a bank account to use ebay? and not have a debit or credit card?

Answer 1

Paypal and ebay have always been linked together for easy payment transactions.  Yes, you can just link your bank account to paypal, however, I do believe that you NEED that credit card attached to help CONFIRM your address.  This tells PP that you are who you say you are, because there is proof of names and addresses in different locations.  If you do not link a CC to PP the only problem that may come up for you is that there may be some sellers who will not accept money from people who do not have confirmed addresses.  The reason - is because PP will not protect the seller if something goes wrong. PP warns sellers that they should not ship anything to someone without a confirmed address.

What I would do if I were you, is link a CC to PP that you do not use, or not very often. Or even just designate one CC for online related purchases.
