What is PayPal?
People with PayPal accounts can send money to each other securely online.
You can deposit money in a PayPal account from a bank account or a credit card, and withdraw money to your bank account. It is the most common way of paying on eBay, as well as being in widespread use on the rest of the Internet.

Paying with PayPal
Paying with PayPal is very simple.When you win an auction and click 'Pay Now', you'll be given a list of payment methods the seller accepts.
You should always check what the seller accepts before you bid, as there are still some sellers who won't take PayPal. If the seller does accept PayPal, it will already be chosen for you on the payment page.
Now you just need to press 'Next', type in your PayPal username and password and confirm the amount you want to pay.
The first time you pay with PayPal you will need to enter the details of your card or bank account, but after that it will remember for you.

Becoming Verified
You might have noticed that there is a limit to how much money you can send or withdraw using PayPal before you need to be verified.Verification has two steps.
1) PayPal deposit some very small amounts of money in your bank account and you need to tell them how much they deposited.
2) They need to phone you to confirm your address and phone number.
Once you've done that, all the limits on your account will be lifted.
Log in at paypal.com and click on 'Get Verified' for more information.
The Hilarious eBay Song!
Made by Weird Al Yankovic
"Ebay" by Weird Al Yankovic
"I want it that way" by the Backstreet Boys is parodied by the excellent Weird Al Yankovic "Ebay" song - synched to the videoclip. I must admit Ebay is very much the way he describes it in the song. Don't take it too seriously; just enjoy! btw I actually love 'Star Wars'.
