Hello mylotters. have you ever bought something from ebay? well can you please help me cause i want to use my online earnings to but some stuff in there. And since I have a Paypal account, i guess I dont need to cash out my earnings and just use them to shop online (even if the shipping rates kill man). My question is, do i have to verify my account to be able to buy anything in Ebay? i havent verified mine yet cause i still dont have a cerdit card which is something that's pretty hard to maintain cause my job is not yet that stable

no you just have to pay someway, the only time you need to be verified if you want to sell on Ebay. there are some sellers that wont let you bid if you have not been verified or do not have a good ebay score. you should be alright good luck

you do not have to verify you account. I buy on ebay all the time. When you make that first purchase it will walk you through using your paypal.

Well, it is really way better if you verify your account on Paypal because most merchants would prefer that. For security and legal reason of course.. I have been a Paypal and Ebay user for years, and I have never been more secure having a verified account. It makes my every transactions smooch and I've got no problem with it. As matter of fact, I received my first payment through Paypal, and used it to purchase something on Ebay, which I can also cash out my earnings..
