Answer 1

When you make your purchase on ebay, you will be asked to select how you want to pay.  If you select paypal and then click the Continue button, you will automatically be taken to the paypal site and then just follow the directions from there.

Alternatively, once you have agreed to buy an item on ebay, you can go to paypal directly and log in.  Then select the "send money" tab and then there should be a sub-tab that says something like "pay for ebay items".  Select that tab and then select the item you want to pay for and paypal will guide you from there.
