    isnt it something to do with adding another email addy?
    I think you have to use a different one for each ebay id so Im guessing thats the bit you add to paypal

    To add a 2nd ebay ID to your Paypal account, go to:

    profile ---> auctions (under selling preferences) ---> Click add and follow it until your 2nd ID is set up to use your paypal account.

    HTH

    JPS?

    Does that count for buyers too because Paypal rejected a transaction from me (my fault btw for paying too quickly for BIN's) and I wanted to add another card to pay. I mailed them and got one reply that didn't apply, so mailed again and heard nothing :(

    So I've stopped shopping :D

    That's not such a bad thing; it's given me time to see what sells and what doesn't, but I've found out what sells and can't source it *groan* :D

    Hi SS

    No no this is just for sellers adding a 2nd eBay account to their current Paypal account. If you want to add a 2nd credit/debit card to your account to pay for stuff, go to:

    profile ---> credit cards (under Financial Information) --->click add and follow instructions. You can then choose to make it your primary account if you choose.

    Josh :D

    Now why couldn't paypal tell me that? Or ebay? Or anyone else :D

    Thanks very much for that. I'm hoping I don't need the info, but it's embarrassing when you go for a BIN that's less than 20 quid and it's thrown out lol. Luckily I got a lovely seller that understood why I had to send a cheque instead.

    Thanks again :D
