Was my paypal linked
 

What's up you guys, I just needed to know 1 thing and im sure its been covered but I looked through everything and couldn't find the answer. Ok here goes, when u have a auction that has ended and you know inside of "My ebay" it gives you the option to "send invoice" now lets say you use the send invoice option so the buyer can pay via paypal. Now within that option it says at the bottom "have your buyer pay easily through paypal" and it ask you to insert your paypal email address. If you use this option to send a customer the invoice so they can make payment is this considered your ebay & paypal account being linked.

Good question.

Though I've never experienced this, so I'm not sure, I would love to hear what other people think.

i think your accounts will be linked.
it happened to me before: a buyer paid for an auction fast using paypal, when i wanted to see my ebay account ,ebay marked the item paid in my Ebay page.
Ebay and Paypal work together especially when the customer pay you by paypal even without sending him an invoice.
thx

Yeah I hope my lazyness didn't put me on ebay's radar

So let me ask you, what if u send the customer a invoice through the paypal system, u know paypal ask you what are you requesting money for "goods services, ebay auction" ect. when u select ebay auction it will also ask you to input your screen name from what ebay account the item was sold on that your requesting money for. What im getting at is this, if your trying not to link your paypal to ebay, it almost seems impossible because you have to reveal your screen name in some shape form or fashion. It may be inside of my ebay sending a invoice or within the paypal system without going to ebay sending a invoice. If someone knows diffrent please help Also thanks for the input you guys.
