How do I link my paypal account to my ebay account?

Question

i don't know how to do it and also do i have to have an actual bank account with money in it on paypal in order to bid if the auction is "paypal only?"

please help.

Answer 1

you don't have to set up an account on eBay with pay pal. Once you have a pay pal account..when you go to the eBay check out.. it asks you how you want to pay, you then click pay pal and it takes you to the pay pal log in site.

No you do not have to have a bank account registered you can pay via credit card. You submit your CC info then when you finish the transaction, it will pull from your credit card. Drawback to not having bank account set up, you cant put money in your pay pal account unless you know someone who can transfer money to you.

Answer 2

Go to the site I listed in the sources and click sign up now on the right. Type in you information and hit agree and sign up and it will tell you you already have an account and to link it hit the log in link at the top of the page. Enter your info again and you click link your account and you should have it then linked so sellers don't restrict you anymore from bidding.
