Well, not strictly, but its been about a year since I won something on ebay and Ive now just won a tune and it needs to be payed within 3 days via Paypal.

I use my fathers ebay (he never buys anything from one year to the next either) and I think its signed up to paypal from what I remember.......


Now, Im panicing cos I cannot for the life of me remember what Im supposed to do now, what the paypal thing is, whether we have it, how to get into it, how it works, etc etc. Has anything changed with Paypal, is it safe, whats happened in 12 months - anything that may cause trouble?

I dunno, Ive lost the plot. Im tired and cant think properly lol.

How do I know Ive got paypal, how does it work again system wise with the money?

It took me a few hours to remember the account detials for ebay, but now Ive bought it, I cant remember what to do next! lol :$


Its really simple, but I must be going senile in my old age. :|

im like herpes....never quite fcuk hoff!!!
nowts changed within the last year or so, ive got an ebay account but no paypal, my mams addicted to ebay and shes got paypal.

when youve won ur bid you should of been sent a bill that gives you the option to 'pay now using paypal'.........soon find out if youve got it or not!

you can check ur account details and that will tell you if youve registerd a card for paypal, if not its easy enough to get paypal.

Cheers nics :cool: .....


Just taking a look now....thanks :). Trying to remember all the log in stuff is terrible, lol. Im being my own like hacker or something! hahaha.

So, therefore then, the Paypal seems active, so what I do next is grab the debit card for the account holder and just input the mumbers in on the ebay or paypal site and thats it?.


Sheesh :S

right ive just been on the phone to my mum for you and she says;

if youve got a paypal account she said click that button that says 'pay now using paypal' you then enter your ebay user name and ur paypal password and ur done, none of this enter all ur card details all the time.

hope this helps you:thumbsup:
