Question

Answer 1

yeah you need a paypal account, but you can get a paypal account by using your card details.

Answer 2

snapple got to it first :(

Anyway, yeah, you'll need a PayPal account - this is so you can track your transaction and also be able to dispute your payment if anything goes wrong.

Answer 3

yes.

Use the paypal link and start an account.Then add your car number or bank account so that it can send your money to paypal and paypal can send your money to ebay.

Don't worry, no apr...it's not a credit card.

Answer 4

If it says paypal only, unfortunately you can only use paypal ( a deceptive little way for ebay to make more money-the two are linked)

paypal accounts are however easy to set up and can be effective, however id do a lot of research first and find out exactly what your getting into and what kind of fees they can squeeze out of you.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Alot of times, the seller will tell you wether to use paypal or accept card. But yes, to use Paypal, you will need to create an account on there, and the seller can transfer "funds" to the account. you can recieve the money faster by liking your account to paypal. Go to the paypal website, it's a very easy process and easy to understand.

Word of advice: Never buy from someone that tells you to use a site you are unfamiliar with. Escrows, Wired transactions, Westernunion. You will be scammed.

I hope this helps : )

Answer 7

If you don't have a paypal account, which I'm going to assume you don't, you can still pay using your credit card.  Paypal.com only sets up a personal online banking account with you where you confirm you have a savings or checking account and can add a credit card and choose to always pay with your credit card or paypal balance where you transfer money into your online banking account with paypal.  I use paypal all the time and just have it linked to my credit card.  You should register at paypal.com because it's convenient not entering credit card information all the time when buying online.  Just remember, don't spend money if you don't have it!

Answer 8

Yes. If a listing states that you can only pay for that item by PayPal, than you must get a PayPal account and link it with either a credit or debit card or a bank account (using the routing number and account number). It is very easy.

However, be aware that to transfer money from a bank account, it takes about 3-5 days to transfer the money over. If you need something immediately, do not use a bank account as your primary source of income for PayPal.
