Do I need a Paypal account in order to use an eBay gift card?

I just received an ebay gift card for my birthday, but I haven't signed up with them before and I don't have a PayPal account. I'm wondering if I need a PayPal account in order to redeem the gift certificate. Thanks!

Yes, you will need a PayPal account in order to use your eBay gift certificate. You will also need a bank account that you can link to the PayPal account that you create.

Have my invoice but need help in understanding how to pay ebay. Hav

You can pay for items on eBay using PayPal, credit cards, or debit cards. Other ways to pay include gift cards, coupons, eBay Bucks, and more. Before you bid or buy, check the listing to see which payment methods the seller accepts.
Once you've won an auction-style listing or bought an item at a fixed-price using Buy It Now, you can pay for your order.
When you check out and pay, make sure to verify or change your shipping details. If your PayPal account is linked with your eBay account, you'll just confirm and pay. If it's not linked or if you don't have a PayPal account, you can select another payment method, such as a credit or debit card. You'll then confirm your order details and pay through PayPal guest checkout.
You'll get an email letting you know your payment was received and when your item will be shipped.
To speed things up in checkout, you can:
  • Save your payment details
  • Pay with PayPal every time

How do I use my gift card?

You can pay for eBay items with e-gift certificates, gift cards, and coupons. You need to have eBay and PayPal accounts, but if you don't, you'll be given the opportunity to register on eBay and sign up for a PayPal account when you purchase an item.

To redeem an e-gift certificate, gift card, or coupon, you'll need to log into your PayPal account when you purchase the item. If you don't have an account, you'll be given an opportunity to sign up.
To use an e-gift certificate, gift card, or coupon:

  1. Click the Pay now button.
  2. If the seller offers more than one shipping option, select the one you want.
  3. Enter the redemption code in the Redeem a Gift Card, certificate, or coupon field.
    Tip: If you received your redemption code online, it's easier to copy and paste it into the redemption code field instead of typing it.
  4. Click the Apply button to see your new order total, and then click the Continue button.
  5. On the next page, log in to your PayPal account.
  6. Select a PayPal payment method, and then click the Continue button.
  7. Check your order details, and then click the Confirm payment button.

I don't know how to pay through paypal they ask me the email address or the phone number of the seller I need to pay for one Matrox DualHead2Go Model D2G-A2A Dual VGA Adapter for 49.99 and Paypal...

Hi carla410,

Depending on whether or not the seller uses eBay checkout, the steps to complete payment are different. If your seller does not use eBay checkout, they will send you an invoice or other payment instructions to help you complete your purchase.

To pay for an item when the seller uses eBay checkout:

1. Link your PayPal and eBay accounts, if you haven't already done so.

2. After you've won an item, click the Pay Now button. You can find this button in the listing, in the Purchase History section of My eBay, and in the confirmation email that you receive from us.

3. Check your shipping address. If any information is incorrect, click the Change shipping address link to update it. (The seller may require a credit card billing address registered with PayPal, sometimes called a confirmed address.)

4. Confirm the order details, including shipping and taxes. Click the Continue button. (If you have questions about the total cost, click the Request total from seller link.)

5. Select PayPal as the payment method.

6. Enter your PayPal log in information. If you don't already have a PayPal account, you can sign up.

7. Make sure that your shipping details, payment method, and order details are correct.

8. Click the Confirm Your Payment button to complete your purchase.


To link your PayPal and eBay accounts:

1. Click My eBay at the top of most eBay pages.

2. Click the Account tab.

3. Click the "PayPal Account" link on the left side of the page.

4. Click the Link My PayPal Account button.

5. You'll be asked to log into PayPal to finish linking your accounts.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Credit for paypal

Hi Starlette,

First off paypal is owned by ebay. When you sell or buy on ebay your directed to paypal to make payment arrangements if your new and selling you have to offer paypal as a payment option and if your buying you would indeed need good credit to get the paypal credit card. When you buy/sell you will be given the option to pay with paypal. When you click this option you will be taken to paypal to sign into your paypal account. You also will be able to link your cell phone for ebay and paypal alerts, you also will be able to link your bank checking account to your ebay account.
