Answer 2

I don't understand how you can have a paypal account without having any money in it.  Mine is set up with my bank thru my checking account.  

Deposit some money into your account.  There are several ways of paying.  

Does the seller accept money orders, cashier checks?  You can send money to any email address.  Some sellers will take a personal check, then not send item until check clears.

You can email the seller, ask this person how he'd like you to pay.  There are several ways of paying the seller.  As a last, and final resort, you can retract your bid.  Don't panic, the worst thing possible that could happen is your account getting closed for non payment.  

Send me an email, I'll be glad to help you with this.  Don't panic, your gonna be fine.

Answer 3

Paypal is rarely the only method offered.  If the seller is happy to accept a cheque, even if you don't have a cheque account you could arrange for a family member to send one, or if the seller accepts postal orders you could obtain one yourself from a post office.  Just to be clear, a bid is a binding arrangement (as ebay makes clear when you bid), if you win the item it is up to you to arrange payment in accordance with the seller's terms, in future you should be clear how you will do that before you bid.
