    Yes.
    There are no paypal fees for paying on a credit card and it will be a purchase on your card (not a cash advance).

    You may need to upgrade your paypal account (which I don't think costs anything) to use your credit card.

    If other people send you money from credit cards e.g. you sell something, then you will have to pay paypal fees, but this is for selling, not for buying.

    You can use the credit card, you'll just need to change the 'funding method' on the payments screen in ebay, as it always defaults to bank a/c (as its the cheapest option for eBay/Paypal).

    You won't need to upgrade your account, you would need to if you were receiving credit card payments but not to send.
