Answer 1

You don't have to add money to your paypal account to make purchases on Ebay, you can can just pay as you go. Paypal with take the amount of your purchase from your bank account.

You can add money to your paypal account if thats what you want. Go to My Account and then Add Funds. You can't add cash on there but you can transfer money into your paypal account from your bank account.

It takes like 3-5 days for money to transfer, so i would recommend just paying as you go with Ebay.

Answer 2

After you sign-up for PayPal you can link a bank account and credit card to that PayPal account.  After you buy something on eBay, when you are completing the eBay checkout process, select PayPal as the payment method.  You will then be brought to the PayPal website.  Enter your PayPal user ID and password.  Review the information and approve the payment.

While on the PayPal website but before you approve the PayPal payment, if you have both a bank account and a credit card linked to your PayPal account, you can decide which you prefer PayPal to take the funds from.

I suggest you always pay with PayPal and always have PayPal charge your credit card, because that is the best way to protect yourself should something go wrong with your purchase.

There is no need to move funds into you PayPal account.  This occurs automatically when you pay for your eBay purchase with PayPal.  When making a PayPal payment that pulls money from your bank account, be sure your bank account has enough money in it to cover your purchase.
