Reply to "eBay Glich -- PayPal Required"

linda431Member

This thread is a couple of months old, but I thought I would add my 2cents.

The problem is in the word "linked". Steven's buyer got a message that her Ebay account wasn't linked to her PP account, not that she didn'thave a PP account. This has happened to hundreds if not thousands of Ebay buyers.

Obviously, the accounts are linked in the normal sense of the word; you go on Paypal and your Ebay items won show up.

In the Land of Oz, I mean Ebay, in doing some of their famous tinkering, some Ebay accounts got unlinked but only on the Ebay side, not the Paypal side.

The fix: Go to Ebay/My Account/Addresses. Click on "View All Shipping Addresses". If you don't see your shipping address listed twice, once under Primary shipping address and again under Paypal address, then your account got "unlinked". Click on the link to add it and it should work.

If your account is already linked, you won't see a button to Add Paypal address.
