I have recently set up a PayPal account on Ebay. I am doing ok - all the items I put up for auction have sold, and everyone has paid using PayPal. Now what if I want to bid and buy something? If the money in my PayPal account is not sufficient to meet the required amount, what can I do? This is the only area I am having a problem with. Help!

You can pay for the item by credit/debit card in full or use any funds against the amount and pay the rest with your card.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Quick Grabbit, Freebies, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning and the UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

When you win the auction, click through pay with paypal (or something like that) and log in. You can then choose how to pay.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Quick Grabbit, Freebies, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning and the UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Basically, if you don't have enough funds in your PayPal account they will withdraw the balance required from the bank account (or credit card) you listed when joining PayPal. To recieve funds from your PayPal account you need to use the Withdraw link.0
