Paypal Personal Account & Ex Bankrupt

Am looking to possibly open a Paypal 'Personal' account linked to a prepaid Mastercard debit card I have (have currently been using it as a guest for purchases on ebay)

Only need the account for purchasing on ebay not selling etc.,

My question is will paypal run a credit check if I do indeed open an account, and will a poor score (which it most probably will be!) affect me opening the account and possibly have some detrimental impact on the current account I now hold with a high street bank?

Have been discharged 3 years.

Thanks

    Paypal may run identity checks but that is all, as technically you are not opening up any credit facilities so no full credit check.
