I just won an auction on ebay and need to pay for it, I can use a money order or check if I have to, but I opened a paypal accoutn a while ago, used it once to pay fro another auction. Then I just transferred money from my checkign account to paypal and sent payment. This time I would prefer to pay with a credit card, I thought this was possible with paypal, but I don't see how to do it. Help

You have to give them your cc # wait for your bill give them the codes that they request and then you can do it. It is a pain and takes a little time.

Nope, thats for you to get some type of verification (that I can't think of the name). To pay with a credit card you just need to link that card to the account by giving them the number and the cv2 code.

Hmm, I don't remember doing this for the credit card. I did have to verify my bank account by getting the small deposit and then telling them how much it was. But my credit card was listed as the backup payment option when I went through to pay, and I just switched it to the primary way to pay. SO will that work?
