How to link paypal and ebay?

LongMan · #1 02-15-2008

This is a bit odd, I've gone to paypal and added my eBay id to the auction section and I have gone to eBay and logged into my paypal account through there but it is still showing as them not being linked.

I can't for the life of me figure out what I've done wrong? Can somebody help me.

Go to "seller account", and click on something like, set up automatic payments. (Where you would normally go to pay your ebay fees.) That will then link your paypal and ebay account

Thanks mantisinc, I've found out that eBay FAQs is written by idiots whose information is outdated or plain just doesn't work. Surprising isn't it!

The proper way is to go to ADDRESSES and add a paypal postal address to link.

Oh really? I didn't know that.
Yes, the help sections are awful for concerns that are not just plain obvious.
Not that it suprises me...
