How to pay? Help!

in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
Bought an item on eBay and been trying to pay using my credit card, When i use pay now and click through to paypal they won't allow me to add the credit card as my Visa debit is already listed - Obviously this means the payment comes direct from my bank either way if i pay using P/P. :mad:

Is there a way i can bypass the issue and merely send the guy a paypal payment using my C/Card as payment?

Want to get it paid for ASAP rather than needing to go bank tommorow to add funds before sending the payment IYSWIM

Any words of wisdom? :o

    I've got a credit and debit card listed on paypal. Have you tried going through paypal direct and adding a card? It may need to be verified though.

    I agree - add your CC to Paypal separately, not through Ebay. Then go back to Ebay and use it as an option. :)
